"I learned that Charlotte Walter launched Charlotte Truffles in 2016 after a 12‑year career as a manufacturing processing engineer, using savings from her first career and partnerships (such as with Chromatic Coffee) to bootstrap the business; as an Indonesian American she folds her story into flavors like the Putu Bambu bonbon (gula jawa and pandan), promotes the multicolored production and eating process via Instagram and TikTok, completed an ICA Fund accelerator to access her first commercial kitchen, and sells at the Menlo Park farmers market (Sundays, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.) and online." - Paolo Bicchieri
