How to invest in wine and how Vinovest itself raised money. By Anthony Zhang Fundraising Radio: Early Stage Startup Fundraising

Anthony Zhang, Co-founder and CEO at Vinovest talks about how his company helps "regular" people invest in wine - an asset class that was previously only accessible to the wealthy people with free time on their hands. He also spoke about their most recent Series A and how they had to change their business model to close the round successfully.
