Owner of Bluebird Bread Co & Host of The Bread Winner Podcast
The Bread Winner Summit partners with values-aligned brands who want meaningful connection with owner-operated sourdough microbakeries and small bakery businesses. Sponsorships are intentionally limited to preserve audience trust, clarity, and sponsor visibility.
​
This is a founder-led online event with a highly engaged audience of bakery owners who are actively making purchasing decisions for their businesses. We prioritize quality partnerships over volume and work with a small, curated group of sponsors each year.

Who This Is a Fit For
This opportunity is best suited for brands that serve sourdough bakery owners and value long-term trust over mass exposure. We do not partner with MLMs or spam-forward offers, and all sponsors are required to provide a clear bonus, discount, freebie, or sample offer for attendees.
