Key notes: Winc is a modern winery with a direct connection to the consumer, building a portfolio of brands for the next generation of wine drinkers.

Office address: 5340 Alla Road, Los Angeles, California, United States

Description: After launching in 2011 with the goal of making discovering great wine easy, Winc continues to disrupt the $220BN wine industry. Driven by the vision of a great bottle on every table and a great story in every bottle, Winc seeks to create more custom experiences for its members and bring ease and exploration to the process of buying and enjoying wine. The company's unrivaled access to consumer insights has helped shape the development of iconic brands like Summer Water, the viral hit embodying the rosé state of mind, and Folly of the Beast, the supremely accessible Pinot Noir of uncompromising quality. In addition to its online subscription service, Winc’s sought-after brands are available in progressive restaurants and premium retailers nationwide. Winc recently announced its first public investment opportunity, Winc Shares, a Regulation A+ campaign on the SeedInvest platform. In its mission to further democratize the wine category, the licensed winery will be raising money through Reg A+ financing, a section under the JOBS Act voted in by the SEC that allows anyone to invest in a private company, not just the wealthiest 2%. Tapping into the company's robust community of members and brand advocates, this campaign will enable Winc’s supporters to invest alongside prominent players like Bessemer Venture Partners, CrossCut Ventures and Shining Capital The best bottles of wine are shared. Now the best wineries can be, too. Learn more at seedinvest.com/winc.
