Diverse Powered Brands

Diverse Powered Brands is an industry-first incubator and accelerator dedicated to empowering diverse-owned, diverse-led, and diverse-made brands in beverage alcohol. With a 360-degree approach to brand development, DPB offers early-stage and growth-stage businesses access to strategic consulting, educational programming, investor exposure, buyer-facing opportunities, and promotional tools to market themselves as a diverse supplier – all designed to scale innovation and amplify visibility for underrepresented founders. Our ecosystem includes master classes, pitch events, a centralized B2B Brand Directory, virtual and in-person programming, and tailored brand support through every phase of growth. We help position brands for long-term success by unlocking access to networks of wholesalers, importers, investors, and strategic alliances. Diverse Powered Brands champions a broad definition of diversity, including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQIA+, Women, Veterans, and Disabled-owned businesses – as well as those that are diverse-led or diverse-made. We believe that supporting diverse entrepreneurs drives innovation, strengthens communities, and reshapes the future of the beverage alcohol industry.
