Netflix of Premium Chocolate
XOCOA is building an AI-powered recommendation platform for premium artisanal chocolate, connecting 500+ African artisan chocolatiers to global markets.
Why Now?
Cacao prices have recently doubled to €12,000/tonne. As a result, industrial producers are cutting corners, while the artisanal premium chocolate segment is exploding (+7-12% CAGR).
Currently, zero competitors possess AI-powered recommendations tailored specifically for this high-growth segment. XOCOA fills this vacuum, providing the first intelligent discovery layer for the "New Cocoa Era."
We are at the seed stage, currently engaging with investors to create our first leverage and scale the platform. Our AI engine is live at xocoa.co.
