Building a Chocolate Factory

Daniel Sklaar is Founder of FINE & RAW chocolate, the Brooklyn- based raw chocolate company focused on sustainable ingredient sourcing and minimal processing. Daniel started Fine and Raw in a Williamsburg loft in 2007 and opened a factory in Bushwick 5 years later. Today, FINE & RAW is still going strong and 100% owned by Daniel. On this episode of ITS, Daniel and Ali talk about building organically, leaving room for creativity, and how too many people making decisions is usually a bad idea.

Om Podcasten

A podcast about building consumer product (CPG) startups. When Haven's Kitchen launched its fresh sauces in grocery stores across the U.S., founder Alison Cayne knew they were jumping into something crazy. In her effort to get educated, she started meeting with everyone she knew and respected who could advise her - from operations and supply chain gurus to brand marketing and social media mavens. Then she started having those conversations as a podcast so that other entrepreneurs can learn from them as well. This is the story of building Haven’s Kitchen. But it’s also the story of every growing business. Because we’re all In the Sauce.
