Have you ever wanted to customize your own chocolate bar with toppings and custom messages? That’s exactly the idea that inspired Chocomize. Eric Heinbockel, Nick LaCava, and Fabian Kaempfer were three friends who decided to start their own business after graduating from college, per Shark Tank Success. The trio founded their company with $70,000 and created a website where customers can select from milk, dark, or white Belgian chocolate as the base, then choose from hundreds of toppings and mix-in options. Customers could also further customize their chocolate bars by adding a note, and there was also a “chocolate bar of the month” option, according to Shark Tank Blog. Chocomize made around $400,000 in sales from its first year in business (per Shark Tank Success).
Wishing to further boost the business, then-Chief Financial Officer Joe Dauenhauer appeared on the popular show “Shark Tank” (via 2paragraphs). Many entrepreneurs and business owners from across the United States pitch their ideas and products on the show with hopes of one of the “sharks” investing in them and taking their business to the next level, per ABC. During his appearance, Dauenhauer pitched Chocomize to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary, real estate agent Barbara Corcoran, businessman Robert Herjavec, and TV personality and entrepreneur Lori Greiner. Here’s what happened to Chocomize after “Shark Tank.”
