Founder, Glasvin
2 years ago David quit his job in finance and began pursuing entrepreneurship in wine. His self-funded direct-to-consumer wine glass business went from nothing to selling more than $250k in its first 12 months of operations, and was featured on Food & Wine Magazine as one of the "Best Products of 2020". He hopes this course will help entrepreneurs like him save time and money, and ultimately succeed in their ventures.
Prior to working Finance, David co-founded a company that educated thousands of students in business concepts like finance, accounting, economics and operations. He graduated first in his class from the Queen's School of Business.
