Building a specialty snack bar company presents challenges and opportunities. Katarzyna Bosne talks about the lessons she has learned in starting and scaling a business producing all-natural nutrition bars made with vegan, no-preservative ingredients. She discusses manufacturing handmade products in-house, the costs and challenges of shipping products that are refrigerated directly to consumers, the distribution channels, and working with DTC and retail sales to bring healthy, delicious snacks to the marketplace.

“When growing and scaling a business, focus on what you do the best, concentrate on quality, and learn from mistakes. The key is to learn – if you think you know the best, you are limiting yourself – you are not growing.”

CEO and Founder of Rawmantic Chocolate
Kataryzna is the CEO and founder of Rawmantic Chocolate, a 100% women-owned small business. She spent 25 years in the high-fashion industry, dressing top celebrities, musicians, and royal family members for red-carpet events, galas, and TV appearances. Rawmantic Chocolate was launched when Kataryzna started producing healthy snacks for her clients while simultaneously running her full-time fashion business. It was a perfect environment to introduce the snacks and test the recipes. After two years, she decided to take a leap of faith and exited the fashion world for good to focus full-time on building Rawmantic Chocolate.
Kataryzna holds a bachelor’s degree focused on International Business, Trade, and Commerce from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and she is a certified raw vegan chef and Health Educator from Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida.
