Join us for HIP Investor's Roundtable on May 13, 2008 where you'll hear from innovative entrepreneurs selling organic juices and coffees, energy bars and granola, and even sustainable beef.

* Adina for Life - Greg Steltenpohl, CEO, (co-founder of Odwalla) on sourcing fair-trade ingredients (e.g. hibuscus, lavender), boosting income for low-income farmers around the world, and creating another winning brand.
* 18 Rabbits Inc, Allison Vercruysse, Founder & President, on sourcing healthy ingredients, tenacious marketing and changing names.
* Oliver Ranch, Carrie Oliver, CEO & Founder, on creating a model that better links 800,000 farmers to your table (and avoids the five wholesaler oligopoly).

In addition, we will examine well-known public companies. Is Pepsi "fun for you" or "good for you"? Why is Whole Foods making loans to organic farmers? Is Safeway the "greenest" of food retailers?

Date: Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Time: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Place: Downtown SF - Accessible to BART/MUNI (details after RSVP)
