Our founder, Keith Kohler, has lived the life of a CPG entrepreneur. A diagnosed Celiac, he was a co-founder of a gluten-free manufacturing facility, GF Solutions. His lessons as a founder have shaped the formation and growth of his finance consultancy and how he shows up for founders.

Keith has worked with and impacted thousands of companies with financing and financing education. He is dedicated to helping founders get the right financing at the right time® via his strategy call – www.yourfinancingreview.com – and with the information from CPG Financing Guide.

Keith is also a sought-after speaker on financing: he has led financing webinars for the Specialty Food Association, Hirshberg Entrepreneurship Institute, and has been a featured speaker on all aspects of debt financing for the award-winning Natural Products Consulting’s “Financing Your Consumer Products Company” in-person seminars.

Keith launched CPG Financing Month (www.cpgfinancingmonth.com) in February 2024, a series of in-depth conversations exploring the financing and mindset journeys of CPG companies. The 2026 edition includes 11 conversations throughout the year.

Keith supports CPG founders in several other roles, including as a member of the selection committee of Nutrition Capital Network and an Expert in Residence and Mentor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Venture Lab.
