Tara Bosch founded SmartSweets at the age of 21, and sold it 4 years later for $360M. She had a very strong vision and scaled quickly, reaching $125M in sales in just her fourth year in business. What a story, right?
Tara is keynoting The Capitalism Conference this year, so I wanted to sit down with her to break down how she turned SmartSweets into a household name. This is one of the best case studies I’ve ever seen in how to build a huge brand by building a raving fanbase.
