A year ago, we started working with Bryan Cornelius and Charles Perrier on Karafe 🍷 The starting point was a clear problem: Buying wine is often a broken experience that has not evolved. Too much choice, little guidance... Karafe tackles that head-on: a simple way to discover and buy wine based on your taste and budget. In less than a year: - 6’000+ profiles created - 120+ unique wineries selected and showcased - 79% of users say the recommendations help - LTV/CAC already trending at 3.5 (18 months) Not hype. Real signals. We break down why we invested in our latest memo. Check it out and get to know your wine profile 😉 Link to the article 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYaWjHEE Matthieu Harbich Nicolas Rattaz Pascal Meyer Fabio Monte Stéphane Grivat Joann Dobler Anaïs Paulus

🤩 Proud to see Charles Perrier and Bryan Cornelius, co-founders of @Karafe, featured in 24 heures. 🚀 Launched within our studio last year, Karafe is already bringing together 5’000+ wine lovers 🍷 and helping people discover wines differently, tailored to your taste, while giving visibility back to the artisans behind them. 👉 Check the article: https://lnkd.in/ewHadGqr P.S: Thanks, Cécile Collet, for this well-written piece. You really captured the spirit of Karafe 🍷 Joann Dobler Nicolas Rattaz Pascal Meyer Fabio Monte Stéphane Grivat Matthieu Harbich Juliane Butty QoQa
