At Dan's Chocolates we don't have a chief executive, but instead our own Chief Chokolada. Dan Cunningham, founder of Dan's Chocolates, was raised in the self-reliant state of Vermont and is a born entrepreneur. A 1997 graduate of Princeton University, Dan has worked on projects for high tech industry giants such as IBM and Microsoft. But his true passion lies outside of boardrooms and corporate bureaucracies.
Dan is a different sort of businessman. He's someone who wants to do a good job without having to sacrifice what it means to be a good person. That's why the delicious chocolates he's offering come with an opportunity to do something good.
The inspiration for Dan's chocolates came from Dan's concept of using the Internet to deliver the freshest, handmade chocolates available while donating a percent of revenues to charity. Partnering with his long time friend Jared Polis at Blue Mountain Arts (bluemountain.com), he created a company with charity at its heart-the raspberry center, if you will-when he launched Dan's Chocolates in November of 1999.
Dan's intent is to start a "chocolate revolution" by delivering fresh chocolate, good will and lots of fun. And in doing so, allow people (himself included -
see it here) to reveal the fun-loving, chocolate-worshiping kid that lives inside all of us.
