Innovative Fintech Platform Aims to Disrupt and Democratize the Traditionally Inaccessible Wine Investment Market

Vint, the first SEC qualified, fully transparent, efficient platform for wine and spirits collection investing, announced the completion of a $1.7 million pre-seed fundraising round led by Fintech Ventures with participation from Slow Ventures, Allied Venture Partners, irrvntVC, Cooley, and Arrington Fund. This strategic investment will accelerate Vint’s growth and its mission to democratize the wine and spirits industry, deliver exceptional user experience in collectibles and investment management, and expand its customer base.

“We’re confident that Vint is the best-suited platform to answer the market’s need for access to the stable and proven returns of wine investment at an unprecedented, accessible entry point.”

Vint’s unique model of offering expertly curated, thematic, SEC-qualified, collections of fine wines and spirits to both accredited and non-accredited investors at a variety of entry levels, sets it apart from competitors. With its low barrier of entry for collections that are properly stored and insured, investors can purchase SEC-qualified securities of wine collections. The collections are managed by an experienced and certified team of wine experts and investment is accessible to anyone with shares as low as $25 with no annual fees.
