He then leveraged technology to launch Wine Exchange, an online trading platform; The Cellar Club, a premium wine club; and Crackawines.com.au – an online marketplace that allowed wineries to sell direct-to-consumer. Now, Digital Wine Ventures (ASX:DW8) is an Australian publicly listed company that invests in technology-driven businesses servicing and supporting the global wine and beverage industry. The aim is to identify and invest in early stage technology-driven ventures that have the potential to disrupt and digitally transform their market segments and support them by providing access to capital, expertise and shared resources.You can contact Dean at LinkedInAbout your host: Nathan Bush from Subscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community
