Show #73 Carmen Magar of Chocri

The Startup Success Podcast

The Startup Success Podcast

This week Bob and Pat talk with Carmen Magar of Chocri about their startup that offers customizable chocolate bars at http://www.createmychocolate.com/. But there’s more to this story than good chocolate: Carmen explains how Chocri – based in Germany – is opening up the U.S. Market, how this startup taps social media, the complications of delivering a food as a product and why Chocri has donated over $42,000 to an Ivory Coast charity.

And listeners, if you’d like to make your own perfect chocolate bar, Carmen has set up a coupon code for you: Just enter ‘Bob’ and you’ll save 10%.
