In 2019, SKU, the first and leading CPG accelerator, partnered with BeyondBrands to create BeyondSKU. Now BeyondSKU is embarking upon its 5th track in NYC to match a select group of emerging brands with our high-powered mentors and custom designed curriculum. Our team at BeyondBrands is proud to support these Founders with mentorship and guidance and one of the Track 5 mentors is our very own Entrepreneur in Residence Cynthia Tice, Founder of Lily's Sweets. Learn more about Cynthia below and if you are interested in mentoring for BeyondSKU's Track 5 email [email protected].
We feel so honored to have Cynthia Tice as mentor for Track 5 starting this Fall! Learn more about Cynthia below and if you are interested in joining her as a mentor, please email [email protected]. Welcome Cynthia to BeyondSKU Track 5! Cynthia’s entrepreneurial journey led her to create Lily's Sweets, a line of delicious, no sugar added treats that has disrupted the confection and baking categories since its introduction in 2012. Following the successful national Whole Foods launch of four bars, she launched Lily’s No Sugar Added Baking Chips, in Sept 2014, which quickly became the #1 item in Natural Channel Grocery category. In 2018, she partnered with private equity firm, VMG, to capitalize on Lily’s explosive growth. In June 2021, Lily’s was acquired by The Hershey Co., making it one of the largest snack food brand deals of the year. In joining the Hershey’s family of brands, Lily’s has become a brand that makes BFY options more easily accessible to all consumers.
