Hack Summit Food Day 2026
2026-04-23
Food in a Tighter Margin World

The food sector went through a phase of fast funding and high expectations. Some bets were right. Many underestimated biology, regulation, and the cost of scaling. Where food systems break first is now clearer: raw material supply, production consistency, unit economics, and risk pricing. Day 2 of HackSummit is built for founders working on food systems that must keep operating under climate volatility, biological limits, and regulatory challenges.

These companies:
– build in systems where decisions are validated over years
– depend on land, biology, and physical supply chains
– pay for mistakes through yields, margins, and compliance risk

Valley Partner Discounts are available.
