The company grew to over $1 billion in annual revenue and was acquired by Mars, Incorporated in 2020. Lubetzky also gained national recognition as an investor on ABC's Shark Tank. Beyond KIND, he founded PeaceWorks, a company that uses business to foster cooperation in regions of conflict, and the KIND Foundation, which promotes empathy and kindness.

Lubetzky's ability to build a billion-dollar brand while embedding social purpose into every aspect of the business exemplifies the kind of purpose-driven entrepreneurship the Powered 500 Award celebrates.
