The Mission

Smallholder farmers grow 80–90% of the world's cacao and earn 3–6% of its value. Better fermentation data changes that equation.

90 → 130 ฿/kg — Phrae cooperative, measured with GOcacao fermentation monitoring

0% TCCF CBQA Protocol

Well-fermented beans vs 67.7% control — independently validated by TCCF using CBQA protocol

0 Average ferment duration

vs 7.2 days with traditional methods — a 25% reduction in fermentation time

3.5% Coefficient of variance

Batch consistency with GOcacao vs 26.8% traditional — 7.7× more consistent

The Device

Real-time fermentation intelligence.
For $100.

01 — Measure

Continuous Monitoring

Tracks temperature, humidity, pH, and fermentation kinetics in real time across the entire 5–7 day fermentation window. No manual guesswork. Readings logged every 15 minutes.

02 — Compute

Thermokinetic Algorithm

GOcacao's proprietary algorithm models the internal chemistry of the ferment — not just the surface temperature. It identifies the optimal intervention point before quality degrades.

03 — Alert

Smart Intervention Alerts

When the algorithm detects a critical threshold — turn now, aerate, or finish — the farmer receives an immediate alert. No data science degree required.


Independent Validation

Independently verified
by TCCF.

The Thailand Craft Chocolate Festival independently validated GOcacao results using the CBQA (Cacao Bean Quality Assessment) protocol — the industry gold-standard cut test.
