Creating a New Financial Asset Class
Interview with the Co-Founder and CEO of Vint, Nick King
I have had a lot of conversations with business builders during my time as a podcast host. Not to jinx this week's guest, Vint Co-Founder and CEO Nick King, but rarely have I ever left a conversation thinking that an idea was so compelling and well thought out that failure was only a remote possibility. In this great discussion, we covered:
-The founding of Vint;
-What most business school students get wrong when they want to start a business;
-Where an investment in wine and spirits fits within a broader portfolio;
-The moat that comes from a long regulatory process; and
-The meaningful synergies between Vint's investment products and its marketplace business;
You won't want to miss this conversation about how Nick and his team are trying to create a new financial asset class around wine and spirits.

When I first met Vint Co-Founder and CEO Nick King and learned about what he was building, the aspect I thought had the most compelling potential was the marketplace. In this clip, he talks about the marketplace and the synergies between it and the investment products.
Please stay tuned for another interesting discussion with the founder of a software product for investment managers and allocators—to be released next week.
Have a good weekend,
