“Can a technology-managed platform turn fine wine and whiskey into a mainstream, accessible alternative-asset class for retail investors?”
Founded in 2019 as a managed fine-wine investment platform, Vinovest used algorithmic portfolio construction and bonded storage to make wine an accessible alternative asset for retail investors. In 2022 the company expanded into whiskey cask investing under the Whiskeyvest brand, broadening its collectibles strategy. The company was subsequently acquired by StartEngine, a retail equity-crowdfunding marketplace, signaling a move toward cross-selling alternative investment products at scale rather than operating as a standalone fintech.
Vinovest was founded by Anthony Zhang and is founded in 2019, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, USA.
