Deux Cranes, an artisanal chocolate business founded by Michiko Marron-Kibbey in 2018, has successfully navigated significant ingredient shortages and rising cocoa prices by mechanizing manufacturing, raising prices, and diversifying its product line. Based in Los Gatos, California, the company achieved profitability in 2022 and generated $800,000 in revenue in 2023, aiming for over $1 million in 2024. Inspired by Japanese and French cultures, Marron-Kibbey envisions expanding Deux Cranes internationally, particularly to Japan.
