From childhood cravings for sugary treats to revolutionizing the candy industry, Perth-raised and Melbourne-based lawyer-turned-entrepreneur Daniel Kitay turned his passion into a game-changing brand—Funday Sweets.
Struggling with an unhealthy relationship with sweets as a kid, he set out to create a guilt-free alternative to his favorite treats during the period of Covid-19. Earing Best Food Product of the Year at the Naturally Good Awards and winning the Startup category at Melbourne’s Young Entrepreneur Awards.
