Meet Mona Bavar, founder of DLISH, the multi-million dollar premium gifting company that scaled without ads, a sales team, or even inventory.
While most product founders chase traffic and pour cash into ads, Mona took a different route: she went deep, not wide. One thoughtfully curated gift turned into a 750-unit deal with Pfizer—and that one connection unlocked a global client roster including Google, Spotify, and more. Her secret? A high-touch, emotionally intelligent strategy that made every box feel like a love letter and every client feel like a partner.
In this episode, Mona breaks down how she built a lean, global operation, turned EQ into her best CRM, and created luxury-level margins on a bootstrap budget.
