TCHO's flavor experts made exceptional chocolate because of their rich knowledge of the science and art of flavor, but their mastery had never been shared with customers.

See food as an expression of culture and a way to get a peek inside someone else’s world: food is a window through which they can be transported. Not focused solely on the expense of dining, but on the experience. 


A limited-release subscription kit exploring flavors inside and outside chocolate. Every quarter, members receive an at-home kit with products, educational resources, and experiment ideas allowing them to dive into a new flavor theme. In addition to their kits, members have access to online resources that keep them exploring TCHO chocolate and developing their own tasting credentials



Working closely with TCHO, I&CO helped analyze optimal kit pricing and forecast profitability scenarios. We developed a launch plan for iterative validation and a scaled launch, to optimize the program and mitigate risk. The next steps were for TCHO to develop a physical prototype for in-home testing. Plans to scale included a Beta Launch with a closed invitation before a national launch on the website.
