savvo Stuff:

Did you ever stand in front of a sea of bottles in the wine aisle and wonder “what to get”?  Well the overwhelming majority of people, even avid wine drinkers, experience the same problem!  Our aim is to disrupt the way people buy wine by making the selection process easier, more individualized and effective while simultaneously providing a platform for wine brands to tell their stories to these shoppers.  Our first step in conquering the world is placing touchscreen wine kiosks in grocery store wine aisles.  We also have recently expanded our reach into the craft beer space by licensing state-of-the art technology that analyzes, visualizes and recommends beer based on how a person rates other beers.

We are a digital tech startup providing software for the huge, growing and fun adult beverage industry.  We have two commercially viable product, paying customers, and have a lot of room to grow.  Currently we are in fundraising mode, so we don’t yet have the resources to hire employees.  However, we hate waiting and have some big opportunities that require more product development, so we are hoping to find more than an employee – we are looking for a Senior Engineer to be vested and grow with that can start on a part time basis.  Our current, wonderful CTO has a time-limiting full time job so there is room to grow into this position if the fit is right!

Compensation: For the immediate future, compensation will be 100% in equity, the size of which will be dependent on the skills and the amount of time the candidate can dedicate.  Upon a sufficient funding round, we will bring on this person full time.
