In this episode of Launchbase, I sit down with Callum Woodcock, the founder & CEO of WineFi, a platform that’s transforming fine wine into an accessible investment class.
🚀 Key Highlights:
- How Callum went from idea to £1M+ in revenue within seven months.
- The power of building in public and leveraging LinkedIn for early traction.
- Raising £500K in an oversubscribed pre-seed round—before even having a product.
- Why personal brand matters for startup founders (and how Callum got his whole team posting).
- The mindset shift that helped him overcome rejection while fundraising.
📢 One big takeaway? Startups don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because they don’t find product-market fit fast enough. WineFi nailed it early—before even launching a platform.
