 ct:\n\nWe investigate how US bean-to-bar craft chocolate entrepreneurs per
 ceive and engage with craft entrepreneurship’s fundamental paradoxes\, the
  conflicting yet connected concerns that stem from tensions between the cr
 aft ethos and entrepreneurial imperatives. Through a qualitative analysis 
 of 79 interviews with founders and executives\, three salient paradoxes em
 erge: identity\, industrialization\, and intention. We find that most entr
 epreneurs engage in paradoxical thinking\, holding craft ideals and entrep
 reneurial imperatives in tension. Comparing the degree to which our subjec
 ts engage in paradoxical thinking across sets of tensions\, we derive thre
 e paradox-engagement archetypes. Finally\, we find that most craft entrepr
 eneurs design their organizations to act as a guardrail\, allowing them to
  engage with both craft and entrepreneurial logics by forestalling opportu
 nities for external stakeholders to exert market-related pressures. Our fi
 ndings show that entrepreneurs can successfully engage with craft entrepre
 neurial paradoxes\, building sustainable ventures without abandoning their
  ideals.\n
