Episode 99 Overview
I am often asked why I don’t have my own chocolate brand. The reasons are complicated but one part of the answer is ultimately simple: money. At this stage in my life and in my career I have zero interest in bootstrapping a new business.
If someone approached me to build such a brand, I would ask for sufficient capital to:
- Purchase all of the equipment I want;
- Build out the facility the way I want;
- Hire all of the people I need;
- Buy all the ingredients I need;
- Contract out all of the professional services I need; AND
- Operate for three years without needing additional investment
This episode of #PodSaveChocolate is an exercise in answering the first question:
Given access to unlimited capital, what equipment would I purchase to build out a chocolate and confectionery manufacturing facility?
This episode will be followed up with an episode on equipping a workshop on a budget.
The equipment selections will be revealed during the episode and the links will be added in after the episode.
