🚀Join Monday Girl and Mastercard for an intimate fireside chat in celebration of Small Business Month, exploring what it takes to turn a bold dream into a category-defining brand.

Tara Bosch built SmartSweets from her kitchen table to a $360M exit in just four years. She rewrote the rules for what candy could be, then walked away to do it again. Enter Snackish: a modern, women-led snack brand hitting Target and Whole Foods shelves from day one. Tara's not just building a brand - she's rewriting the playbook for better-for-you food.

Tara will sit down with Istiana Bestari, Co-Founder of Monday Girl, for a candid conversation on chasing big dreams, building from scratch, and what it really takes to scale a brand from idea to acquisition and beyond.

We're getting into:

  • The real story behind a $360M exit in four years — and what nobody tells you about what comes next

  • Why Tara walked away from a win to build Snackish from scratch, and what she's doing differently this time

  • The shift every growing founder has to make: from creator of the thing to operator of the business

  • Live Q&A with Tara - bring your questions!
