About this raise

The company started by selling chocolate wholesale to restaurants and high-end chocolatiers and now has its own retail stores and online presence. Brian Horsley and Adam Pearson founded Fortunato Chocolate in January 2025. The current crowdfunding campaign has a minimum target of $50,000 and a maximum target of $1.24 million.
