Strengths
says, "Vin Social enables open access to small-batch wineries via their curated virtual events platform. The CEO, Sara, is a certified sommelier and wine industry veteran. With COVID many companies have had to become more creative with the social & morale events they hold and Vin Social plays perfectly into that. Their service + product flywheel is great. The virtual platform creates service revenue in which they make high margins on every event but it also drives product revenue. And from each event, Vin Social garners nearly 2 near leads."
Advice
says, "COVID accelerated the move to online virtual events and I only see this space getting bigger as we progress even beyond COVID. I like that Vin Social has carved out its niche in the wine tasting events space and is able to provide this industry's workers (sommeliers & wineries) with much-needed access to customers. In the goal of making the wine experience more inclusive, I would recommend exploring how to expand and service consumers, not just enterprises, too."

What Investors Say

LEAD INVESTOR
Vin Social, as a company and as a platform, is providing businesses a mission-driven, educational, entertaining, and, frankly, fun way to support their clients and relationships. The company provides an end-to-end solution for entertaining clients, meeting them right where they are, and doing so in a unique way through virtual events with a beautifully packaged and expertly curated parcel. Sara Moll, the founder, has built this based on her experience in business and hospitality, which gives her a true advantage in understanding and serving the B2B world. She knows the value of relationships and will help to establish, improve, and solidify those connections for her clients through her impressive roster of makers and employees. And let’s not forget the mission; as a woman-founder, Sara is highlighting the incredible talents of other underrepresented wine, craft spirits, and other food and beverage makers.
Sara has experienced exponential growth in since 2020, with incredible return rates (over 45% of clients have booked at least two events) and a list of over 40 happy clients (which are mostly household names). Her traction is enviable in any industry, and, with her passion, drive, and incredible team, I expect it to continue for years to come.
I am thrilled to have invested in this innovative company led by the brilliant and energetic Sara Moll.
