A never-ending feast of knowledge and resources for entrepreneurs, restaurant owners, chefs, physicians, founders, farmers, scientists, researchers and eaters. We offer business nutrients and connection.
Don’t wait to be seated. If you have anything to do with food, you should have something to do with us.
We started off as NextGen Chef. A place for food professionals to connect. Then we did what we helped our members to do. We grew. Now we’re NextGen Purpose, a global network of food people.
Our video-sharing platform will be here soon. We’re impatiently excited.
