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.
