Project Opportunity with Grapery
Contact: CEO and co-owner, Jim Beagle, at jbeagle@grapery.biz to learn more!
Grapery is looking for an MBA who is interested in a strategy project.
Grapery is best known for their viral launch of Cotton Candy Grapes. However, their product line has become cluttered, and me-too offerings from competitors are proliferating. As a small farming company with a seasonal product, they are evaluating how they maintain their rapid growth in a crowded marketplace without losing their authenticity. They would love to work with an interested MBA on their market positioning strategy.
