How do you take a scrappy idea from your kitchen counter to the shelves of Whole Foods, Target, and Costco—while staying true to your mission? Elizabeth Stein knows the path. As the founder and CEO of Purely Elizabeth, she transformed her background in holistic nutrition into one of today’s most recognized better-for-you food brands.
In this session, Elizabeth will share the real story of launching Purely Elizabeth, from bootstrapping farmers market sales to leading a national category leader. She’ll open up about the inflection points, hard-won lessons, and strategic decisions that shaped her journey.

You’ll learn:

  • How to leverage earned media and founder storytelling to build credibility
  • Ways to innovate within your category without losing focus
  • Balancing growth with mission, values, and product integrity
This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from a founder who turned a passion for nutrition into a nationally scaled, multi-million-dollar brand—while redefining the breakfast aisle.
