Eric Glandian – MVP Build Along Workshop
The MVP Build Along Workshop course by Eric Glandian is a hands-on program that teaches aspiring food founders how to build, test, and launch a real food product from scratch. The MVP Build Along Workshop course walks you through every step of creating a minimum viable product (MVP) for your food brand — from idea and formulation to packaging, nutrition data, and first sales.
Instead of theory, you’ll build alongside Eric Glandian as he shows you how to turn a concept into a sellable, validated product in record time.
Why This Course Stands Out
Launching a food brand can feel overwhelming — with endless questions about recipes, labeling, packaging, regulations, and marketing. Most beginners waste months (and thousands of dollars) guessing their way through the process.
The MVP Build-Along Workshop eliminates that guesswork.
Created by Eric Glandian, an experienced food entrepreneur and brand consultant, this course shows you how to transform your food idea into a viable market-ready product — without large budgets or uncertainty. You won’t just learn — you’ll do it in real time.
By following Eric’s proven process, you’ll see exactly how to:
- Develop and test recipes quickly.
- Design effective, affordable packaging.
- Register accurate nutrition facts.
- Build a simple online storefront.
- Execute a low-cost sell test.
This program gives you the clarity, confidence, and roadmap to bring your food brand to life with precision.
What’s Inside
1️⃣ Product Ideation & Planning
Start by defining your concept and identifying your ideal target market. Learn how to position your product effectively — whether it’s a snack, sauce, beverage, or wellness item. Eric breaks down how to validate your idea before you spend a dime.
2️⃣ Ingredient Sourcing & Recipe Development
Discover the right way to experiment with flavor, texture, and nutritional balance. Learn how to source ingredients from reliable suppliers, handle shelf stability, and document your formulas for repeatable results.
3️⃣ Flavor Formulation & Testing
Follow Eric’s exact testing process as he develops and refines a food product on camera. You’ll learn practical methods for adjusting flavor, improving mouthfeel, and running feedback tests without hiring a lab.
4️⃣ Packaging & Labeling Essentials
Packaging can make or break your launch. Learn how to design professional-looking packaging on a small budget, meet compliance requirements, and print your first batch affordably.
5️⃣ Nutrition Facts & Compliance
Understand how to register your product’s nutrition profile accurately. Eric walks through the labeling process, barcode registration, and compliance steps so you avoid costly mistakes.
6️⃣ Building a Simple Storefront
Launch your first online store without overcomplicating things. You’ll learn how to set up a lean eCommerce site (using Shopify or similar platforms) and integrate secure checkout, product pages, and fulfillment systems.
7️⃣ The First Sell Test
Learn how to run a small-scale launch to validate your market. You’ll see real data from Eric’s example product launch — including pricing, early customer feedback, and iteration tips for your second batch.
8️⃣ Scaling Beyond MVP
Once your test product succeeds, you’ll learn how to scale production, optimize margins, and pitch your product to retailers or investors.
