In July 2019, Krakakoa secured venture funding led by Impact Investment Exchange Asia, with participation from Ladies Investment Club and an individual investor. Krakakoa specializes in the production of high-quality chocolate products sourced from organic cacao beans cultivated by small farmers in Indonesia. Their core offerings include a diverse range of chocolate bars, drinking chocolate, baked goods, and various seasonal products such as Lebaran hampers. Krakakoa places a strong emphasis on sustainability and ethical sourcing, ensuring that farmers receive fair compensation for their labor while maintaining environmentally friendly practices.

The company targets both direct consumers and business clients, including retailers and corporate entities, aiming to serve markets in Indonesia and select international regions, thereby promoting local cocoa production on a global scale. Krakakoa operates a transaction structure that includes direct-to-consumer sales and partnerships with retailers and wholesalers. Customers can purchase individual chocolate products, which are priced based on product type and ingredient quality, ensuring a range of options for various budgets. Notable offerings include the Arenga line of dark chocolates and other flavored varieties, which are positioned as premium products in the marketplace.

The company’s revenue streams are supported by both in-store sales at their flagship locations and online orders, allowing for a comprehensive distribution strategy that caters to the increasing demand for artisanal chocolate products. Krakakoa plans to launch new chocolate products aimed at expanding their product line. Following their most recent funding round in July 2019, the company intends to utilize the investment to enhance their production capabilities and marketing efforts. The goal is to penetrate additional international markets, with a focus on regions that appreciate artisanal chocolate by the end of 2023.
