The 360° Solution to Scaling Diverse Brands
Diverse Powered Brands is an industry-first incubator and accelerator dedicated to empowering diverse-owned, diverse-led, and diverse-made brands in beverage alcohol.
With a 360-degree approach to brand development, DPB offers early-stage and growth-stage businesses access to strategic consulting, educational programming, investor exposure, buyer-facing opportunities, and promotional tools to market themselves as a diverse supplier – all designed to scale innovation and amplify visibility for underrepresented founders.
Our ecosystem includes master classes, pitch events, a centralized B2B Brand Directory, virtual and in-person programming, and tailored brand support through every phase of growth. We help position brands for long-term success by unlocking access to networks of wholesalers, importers, investors, and strategic alliances.
Diverse Powered Brands champions a broad definition of diversity, including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), LGBTQIA+, Women, Veterans, and Disabled-owned businesses – as well as those that are diverse-led or diverse-made.
We believe that supporting diverse entrepreneurs drives innovation, strengthens communities, and reshapes the future of the beverage alcohol industry.

Diverse suppliers are responsible to self-declare their diversity criteria before the brands are published and visible in the Brand Directory.
Diverse suppliers must renew annually to ensure that there has not been a change in ownership, leadership, or makers of each brand.
As stated in the Self-Declaration Form, if Company Ownership, Brand Leadership and/or Brand Maker changes anytime within the year prior to
annual renewal, company must login and update this information within 30 days and sign and resubmit the Self-Declaration form for approval.
We encourage you to verify the ownership status of a vendor/supplier/partner, particularly if you have a supplier diversity program at your company.
