Daniel Lubetzky
Founder of KIND Snacks
Nominated by Trinity University
Best known as the founder of KIND Snacks, Daniel Lubetzky is a business leader, investor, and social entrepreneur working to build bridges between people and increase appreciation for our shared humanity. As the son of a Holocaust survivor, he has made it his life’s work to help prevent what happened to his father from happening again.
Daniel’s foray into food was the unexpected outcome of his work to use business to bring neighbors in Middle Eastern conflict regions together. He conceived nonprofits OneVoice, Empatico, and Starts with Us to foster empathy and empower individuals to practice daily habits that move our culture away from extreme, divisive, and hateful positions.
Through his startup investment and incubation platform Equilibra Ventures, Daniel partners with promising entrepreneurs building innovative enterprises with integrity. A proud Mexican-American, he co-founded SOMOS, a brand on a mission to bring food from the heart of Mexico to American kitchens.
