Thank you to our supporting sponsor H-E-B.Daniel Lubetzky is a Builder. Best known as the founder of KIND Snacks\, Daniel is a social entrepreneur whose work spans industries\, ideologies\, and borders—always rooted in the same mission: to equip people to think flexibly\, solve problems creatively\, and build durable solutions to our world’s most difficult challenges. The son of a Holocaust survivor\, Daniel grew up with a deep awareness of how fear and division destroy societies—and a lifelong drive to prevent history from repeating itself. His early work focused on bridging divides in the Middle East through economic cooperation\, which introduced him to food entrepreneurship. In 2004\, Daniel founded and operated KIND Snacks out of his windowless basement\, and went on to grow KIND into an iconic multibillion-dollar brand known for its pioneering role in health transparency and its commitment to making the world kinder. Today\, through Camino Partners\, Daniel and his team of investor-operators back leaders building businesses taking an enduring approach to enhancing consumers’ lives. He is also the founder of Builders\, a movement helping people move beyond “us vs. them” mindsets. Builders equips citizens to uncover hidden common ground and build on it – with durable solutions that advance the will of the people.  \n\n\n\nMore information: \n\n\n\nTBHF Members – More details will be posted soon.
