Hey There, we're Elisa and Cait - the duo behind First Friday CPG.

Combined, we’ve led launches, scaled revenue 10x, and built brands that shoppers spot from across the aisle. We’ve turned cult products into category leaders, launched into Target, Whole Foods, and many other retailers, and built the kind of momentum that gets investors, buyers, and customers to say “how did they do that?”


Now, we do it for the next wave of iconic brands. If your product deserves the spotlight, we’ll make sure it owns the stage.
