Accelerate growth in your food & beverage business with a structured approach, practical tools, and an energising community.

Whether it’s growing domestically, expanding into new markets or launching new products, Rise Growth Lab can support you to achieve your ambitions.

Welcome to Rise Growth Lab.

Supporting food & beverage entreprenuers to build strong foundations for growth, to thrive locally and shine globally.

Hi, I’m Rebecca Brook, founder of Rise Growth Lab and I’m passionate about empowering more businesses to thrive both domestically and beyond.

I’ve launched and scaled consumer-goods brands in NZ and multiple international markets and now I want to share my experience, knowledge and networks so you too can supercharge the growth trajectory of your brand.

Whether you’re looking to launch new products, gain momentum, or scale, a lack of direction and focus can leave you reactive and standing still.

Do any of these sound familiar….

  • You’re clear on your end goal but don’t know how to get there?

  • Frustrated not knowing where to focus your energy and effort?

  • Spending money on marketing activity that’s just not creating the impact you’d hoped?

  • Wearing too many hats and stuck in the day-to-day?

  • Unsure whether to chase new distribution or grow volume in current channels?

  • Lacking accountability to keep you on track?

  • Weighing up options to launch into international markets?

If you’ve found yourself nodding along to any of the above, our 1:1 or group NZFIN Food & Beverage Accelerator programme can get you out of overwhelm and focused on taking your business to the next level.

You’ll learn to unlock your potential and accelerate growth with a clear plan, essential tools, personalised coaching and a valuable network, regardless of the size of your business.

Client endorsements

“Working with Rebecca to develop our growth plan provided clarity of thought and a clear direction for growth which is really exciting for us. Rebecca’s approach is very collaborative and I really enjoy the way we brainstorm ideas freely and then spend time aligning those ideas to our goals. The process kept us focused on the priorities and has ultimately given us the opportunity to redirect our energy in the business to the things that matter. We’ve felt empowered to ask the silly questions which has been a life saver! Rebecca’s coaching has also helped us think about ourselves and our business from the outside looking in which ultimately helps us to be better business leaders in the long term.”

— Steph Bidois, Director at Food To Market
