Chocolate is the latest frontier for Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe - a seemingly odd departure for the publishing pioneers who created what became known as the "Rolling Stone of technology."
More than two decades ago, the Berkeley pair founded Wired Ventures, a media company with a print magazine and online sites that covered the digital revolution at a time when most of their would-be readers still had tape decks. Their foresight and vision turned out to be a good bet - they sold the company for $390 million and divvied up the money among hundreds of employees, themselves included, and dozens of investors.
Now they're gambling on gourmet chocolate, believing that the Bay Area's zeitgeist is as much about artisan food as it is about technology. "We're still losing money," Metcalfe said of their eight-year investment, "but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel." She was sitting in the Pier 17 factory of Tcho Ventures one recent day, the smell of chocolate wafting through the building's retail store. Although Rossetto and Metcalfe just wanted to be financial backers when they signed on, they've since become experts and can discuss the art and science of making chocolate with the same passion they once had for digital logic circuits.
A niche market
In the beginning, Tcho seemed like it should've been a cinch. Unlike Wired, so ahead of its time that it was difficult to persuade venture capitalists to invest, chocolate has been around for 4,000 years. It's a $17 billion business in this country alone.Wired founder starts chocolate company - Boing Boing
