Heini co-founded and grew Vivino to become the largest wine app in the world with nearly 61 million users and a database of 15,8 million wines. He is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and board member in a number of organizations. His story was recently featured in the Amazon Prime documentary: “Disrupting Wine - a Life of an Entrepreneur”. He is also the founder and host of hashtag#RawStartup”, a platform educating founders and startups to work smarter and grow. Vivino was born out of the frustration Heini had over not knowing which wine to buy. He is credited for bringing a digital revolution to the wine market. Vivino received a total of $221,8 million in funding and is currently a market leader. The story of course wasn't an overnight success. It took hard work, commitment, and a lot of sacrifices on the way. Tune in and let's learn together what it really took to build a global company out of Denmark.

Derfor skal du lytte: Hvad skal der til for at blive en en af de sjældne danske start-ups, som bliver et unicorn og ender med at skabe en global teknologi succes, som vinder i Silicon Valley? Det lærer du i dette afsnit af Rollemodellerne, hvor Heini Zachariassen deler sine vigtigste erfaringer om at tage Vivino fra idé til en global succes med 60 mio. brugere, og om hans atypiske iværksætterrejse fra Færøerne til Silicon Valley og jagten på start-up drømmen i vinbranchen.

Hvem er Heini Zachariassen? Heini Zachariassen er bedst kendt som co-founder af det danske start-up Vivino, som han stiftede i 2010 sammen med sin medstifter Theis Søndergaard. Med en baggrund fra softwarevirksomheden Bullguard, tog de Vivino fra en idé om at lave "IMDB" for vine, til en millardvurderet unicorn, som har rejst mere end 1 mia kr. fra investorer, og en position som verdens største vin-app, med tæt på 60 mio brugere, som har scannet ca. 2 mia. vine. Vivino er en af de 10 største danske tech-start-up succeser nogensinde. Heini er efter en periode som interim CEO i Vivino trådt tilbage fra den daglige drift, og bruger i dag primært sin tid på Youtube start-up kanalen Raw Start-up, hvor han deler råd til nuværende og kommende start-up founders. Hvorfor er Heini gæst i Rollemodellerne? Heini er en af dem, som jeg altid har vidst skulle deltage i Rollemodellerne. hvor spørgsmålet blot har været hvornår tiden har været den rette. Vivino er et fantastisk eksempel på en af de danske tech start-up succeser, som med sit internationale udsyn, er lykkedes med at disrupte et stort marked mod alle odds, og blive en af de cases, som mange start-up foundere kigger mod for inspiration. Det er ikke mange danske start-ups, som opnår unicorn status, og når man tænker på at det er lykkedes Vivino teamet at gøre det, selvom Danmark næsten ingen tradition har for vin, så gør det kun præsetationen endnu mere imponerende. Personligt synes jeg Heini og hans historie med Vivino er beundringsværdig, men mest af alt fordi han er et inspirerende eksempel på en person, som har taget den - næsten umulige - vej fra Færøerne til Silicon Valley, og kontinuerligt har turde rykke barren for hvad der er muligt i sin start-up.

How many times have you stood in front of a wall of wine in a supermarket and taken a punt on one because the bottle looked nicer than the others? We've all done it… and often been disappointed by results. So, in 2009 Heini Zachariassen, Co-Founder, Former CEO and current board member of Vivino, decided to fix the problem. “Why is wine something that nobody has disrupted? And why is wine something where the only thing I can base my decision on is looking at a label.” Vivino's mission is to help people find better wine and they've been doing it primarily through their mobile app which lets you scan bottles to find reviews, ratings etc. - and ultimately make better wine buying decisions. Vivino isn't Heini's first rodeo. His first foray into entrepreneurialism was with BullGuard, a company delivering cybersecurity and VPN solutions. “The real success for me in doing your first startup is learning. It's just incredible how much you learn, what kind of mistakes you do, and that just comes back at you later. That's why second time founders are just better than first time founders.” You don't build a startup alone, says Heini, you aren't the only one doing the work. Your family has to make sacrifices, your spouse, your children. And when things go wrong, you feel them in your body.  Find out what he means…   Sponsor links: smithandwilliamson.com/secretleaders netsuite.com/secretleaders linkedin.com/secretleaders vanta.com/secretleaders

A catch up with CEO and founder of the Vivino app, Heini Zachariassen. We talk about what's new on the app and their move into wine retailing.

In today's episode, listen to an interview with Heini Zachariassen, founder of Vivino. He launched Vivino in Denmark more than 10 years ago, and only recently left the CEO position (and started a great YouTube channel). In this conversation, which took place at TechBBQ in Copenhagen, we discussed how to collect 1.5 billion wine labels, what to spend $155 million on, how COVID-19 has impacted wine consumption, how to stay sane when stepping down as the CEO, and much more. We hope you enjoy(ed) the podcast!

Shakera and Heini Zachariassen, founder of Vivino, discuss technology, Heini's wine journey, and the theme of innovation.

Heini Zachariassen is the co-founder and CEO of Vivino. This wine app gives users access to the world's largest wine database with information and ratings on over ten million wines and is trusted by over fifty million users. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

4 Things Vivino Did To Engage Customers and Build a Wine CommunityTechnology & Timing: “With technologies, it's a lot about timing.  The smartphone was launched in 2007. The App Store launched in ‘08. By ‘10, it was a pretty good product. At the same time, all the phones had a camera. They were all online. All those things came together around the time when we launched Vivino.”Creating A Vision For The Future: “I said, ‘When I build Vivino, it's going to be this amazing scanner where you can look up every bottle of wine in the world. Over time, we're going to put a marketplace on top of that so when you're sitting at restaurants or somewhere else, you just do 2 clicks and buy this wine.' That was always the vision.”Defining Your Target Customer: “What we wanted to do is to really target the casual wine drinkers, not the experts. We wanted to find casual wine drinkers that love wine but did not necessarily want to make it a hobby. We really defined that very clearly.”Utilizing Data & Personalization: “Not only can it give you the generic information about the wine, the rating, all those things, now we put it in perspective from you. Will you like this wine? We'll tell you how likely it is that you will like this wine. That just hasn't been seen in the industry before because nobody's really had the data that we have to be able to do that.”

Over 10 years ago, Heini Zachariassen and his co-founder Theis Søndergaard founded Vivino because they were frustrated by not knowing which wine to buy. Today, Vivino's 50 million users can purchase nearly 13 million wines from around the world. The Vivino community has scanned over 1.6 billion wine labels, written 72 million reviews, and given 204 million ratings on 13.5 million bottles of wine.

Focused on helping the casual wine consumer buy better wine, Vivino has spent over 10 years building its database of wines, creating a structured tastings database, and network of merchants to make buying better wine more convenient.  Heini Zachariassen, founder and CEO, tells us about the journey, what Vivino is up to today, and where it’s going.  A must-listen for anyone interested in wine.  Detailed Show Notes: Heini’s backgroundborn in the Faroe Islands, with only ~50,000 people and no wineAn entrepreneur into technologyHe got the idea for Vivino from “seeing a wall of wine and not knowing what to buy”Vivino’s core challenge - buying wine is difficult. Vivino wants to help people drink better wine and know what to buy at stores through rating every single wine out there1st slogan - “Never forget another wine” - because Vivino didn’t have the database to do more than capturing the winesWith the database, you can now say if the wine is good and what else you might likeRatings with at least 10-20 ratings are highly correlated with expert ratingsUsers - 50M total users~20k users every day, ~10M users every month, ~20-25M active users every year (% of active relatively constant over time)Top 3 areas of interest for consumers - #1 ratings, #2 price, #3 what does the wine taste likeA lot of people rate - 15-20% of scans rate the wine, 6-7% of scans review the wineApp use is 50/50 exploring wine (out somewhere looking at wines) and drinking wines (mostly at home, but could be restaurants, etc.…)“Featured users” are pushed in the community. Some have 50-100k followersThe target audience is always the casual wine drinker firstLaunched taste characteristics - a structured tasting note (both wine structure and tasting profile), uses AI to get the data into the systemAI recommendations (“Match for You”) - gives a % on the wine of how likely you’ll like it, leveraging structured tastingMarketplace700 merchants on the platform, 50% in the US, from small retailers to Wine.comSell in 17 countries right nowToday only a small % (single digits) buy wines through the app - he believes there is a big upsideFully integrated w/ Vivino, users can use Google and Apple PayMoney goes directly to the merchants, Vivino bills a marketing feeLocation matched by merchant's ability to ship to the location, the app only shows things you can buyCan now search for styles of wine based on structured tasting notesWine sales - ~50% are pull (people looking for specific wines), ~50% are push (primarily surfacing what the app says is great value for money)Sales can be 1,000s of bottles to 100,000s of bottles for the launch of Post Malone’s Rose in a few daysRevenue StreamsThe marketplace is the biggestSponsorships - newer revenue stream, for wineries - don’t directly push wineries, but make them look better when people come across them (e.g., show them a video when they scan the wine), provide data analytics to the wineries (based on Looker connecting to Vivino data), do campaign follow up (e.g., get an email about the brand after drinking the wine)No ads - always want to show what Vivino thinks is the best wine for youRecently raised $155M round D (2021)Vivino is currently ~200 people, looking to expand, particularly product engineeringWant to expand into more geographiesDo more marketing - today, only spend 1.5% of GMV (gross merchandise value) on marketingVivino vs. Delectable - Delectable was more focused on somms and wine influencers, which kept them on the platform, but pushed away from the casual wine consumer and felt very “insider” vs. Vivino focused on the casual wine consumerVivino vs. Wine-Searcher - Vivino values convenience more. Wine-Searcher focused on higher-end wines, looking for specific bottles of wine and where to buy it, don’t do transactionsVivino vs. Drizly - the focus is on convenience for delivery, has a network of 1,000s of retailers, faster and less concerned about what exactly the product is, Vivino more focused on wine exploration and ratings

Red or White? The question used to be simple. Now, catch us wide-eyed in the wine aisle looking up at the countless ****bottles, regions, wineries, then panic buying the shiny label. Heini Zachariassen felt the same, so he founded the perfect solution: Vivino.Now in 17 countries, this is the largest eCommerce platform for wine, the app that scans, informs, and uses data to suggest your next bottle. The perfect app? We think so too.Heini is also very active in the startup scene and this episode is jam-packed with jewels of wisdom for starting your business; long-term gains, partnerships, and how EU vs American ideologies affect business.This startup grew exponentially during the pandemic, so listen up for how-to's of his business resilience tactics during a pandemic plus the surprising trends for wine consumption in lockdown too.For more TOA content, subscribe to our NL (toa.berlin) and follow us on Instagram (@toaberlin), Twitter (@toaberlin), LinkedIn (toa-berlin) & Facebook (TechOpenAir).Support the show (https://paypal.me/TechOpenGmbH?locale.x=en_US)

The Shazam for wine had quite a big year. Vivino, an app that lets users search for wines by taking a picture of the label and read customer reviews, raised $155 million last February. The app now has over 50 million users worldwide, and says it facilitated around $250 million in sales last year. Founder and CEO Heini Zachariassen joined the Modern Retail Podcast, and spoke about this newfound growth. The app is over ten years old, and only a few years back began adding commerce to the mix. Before getting users to transact, the first order of business was getting people to use it. “This is a land grab,” said Zachariassen. “We want to be the biggest wine app in the space.” In its early days, Vivino was focused on being an intuitive app that people would use for wine research. The idea was to build a user habit -- people would pull out the app while they were perusing bottles at the wine store. Commerce, said Zachariassen, would come later as it’s “a bit of a complex thing to do.” The focus at first, he said, was to “learn about the user.” But since 2016, the company has been building relationships with wine retailers to make it easier for Vivino users to buy wine. The pandemic, however, was when wine sales really began hitting their stride. Said Zachariassen, “2020 has been really a breakthrough for us.” With more people using Vivino to buy wine, the focus now is to find more app users -- and add more retail partners to the mix. Zachariassen said that this latest investment is about growing the 200-person team and putting marketing on the front burner. Now, he said, he wants to prove how big the online wine business can grow. “If this reaches scale, there is money to be made,” Zachariassen said. “This is a real business -- now we’re going to push the accelerator.”

Heini Zachariassen grew up on a little island logged between Iceland and Norway where the total population hovers around 49,000 habitants. While Heini thinks it's the most beautiful place on earth, the weather is not always great. He stayed there until the age of 22 years old, then moved to Denmark. From a young age, Heini tinkered with computers and fell fast in love. It was a passion he shared with his father, which never left him. Heini always had a knack for building things and was drawn to the world of entrepreneurship. Serving almost every executive role you can think of from CTO, COO, CEO, Chairman of the Board, Heini has proven one thing, he knows how to build products people love. In 2010, when Heini and his co-founder Theis launched Vivino, they were the 600th wine App on the market. Within a few short years, they managed to climb to the top with 36 million users, looking up 2 million wines every single day, and organically attracting 600,000 new users each month. To date, Vivino has raised $57 Million in funding and is operational in 16 markets. He shares 5 strategies to break into a crowded market and win.  Tune in to listen to the rocket ship journey Heini went through with Vivino and his lessons learned along the way In this episode you will learn about: Founder experiences Growth hack strategies Product Market Fit Raising capital Runway challenges Differentiation strategies Scaling operations Product development- how to build a product people love Leadership mistakes and lessons   Heini Zachariassen's biography: Heini Zachariassen is the founder and CEO of Vivino, which provides users with any wine’s rating, review and average price. Vivino is also the world’s largest wine community, claiming more than 15 million users. With more than $37 million in funding, Zachariassen continues to drive Vivino’s global expansion, via users now in 227 countries and on every continent around the world.

He leads the team from Vivino’s headquarters in San Francisco. Connect with Ander Michelena: Website Twitter Linkedin * * * Full Transcription: Heini:  I think it’s got something to do with my ethnicity where I’m from. It’s a pretty common name, actually. Tanya:  That’s Heini, founder and chief evangelist of Vivino, the world’s largest wine marketplace that has over 33 million users looking up 2 million wines every single day and organically attracting 600, 000 new users each month. To date, Vivino has raised 57 million in funding and is operational in 13 markets. Heini:  I’m from a place called the Faroe Islands where I also grew up. Faroe Islands are located between Scotland and Iceland in the middle of North Atlantic. It is the most beautiful place in the world, but the weather is not amazing. Actually, here in California today we have pretty Faroese weather, wet and a little bit cold. Tanya:  How long did you stay in the Faroe Islands? Heini:  Yeah, I grew up there. I was born there, and I grew up there. I moved out of there when I was – must’ve been 20 years – no 24, 22 years old. I moved to Denmark. I spent all my childhood there, and back then, it’s 50,000 people. It’s in the middle of the North Atlantic. It is isolated, and the winters are dark. It’s a very special place to grow up, for sure. I think now it’s changed a lot where people are so online and so on. I think I read an article somewhere that Iceland was one of the highest penetration of Facebook in the world, but I’m pretty sure the Faroe Islands would beat that. People are extremely online and well educated and so on, so it’s a very different place now than it was when I grew up.

In this episode of Making the Brand, Billy interviews Heini Zachariassen, Founder of Vivino. Vivino is a mobile app and website working to democratize the overly complicated and opaque wine industry.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Heini Zachariassen. Heini is the creator and founder of the widely popular app, Vivino, which provides users with any wine's rating, review and average price. It is also the world’s largest wine community, claiming more than 31 million users. Vivino’s been featured, well, just about everywhere and in every publication from Entrepreneur to Forbes to INC and on and on. The interesting thing is that Heini started Vivino with no experience at all in the wine business. He has a varied background in software development and mobile innovation and as an entrepreneur, had had success in a few other ventures, but as he says he was a total outsider. And that is one of the major topics I want to discuss with him today – how being an outsider can actually be the best thing for your business and success. www.Vivino.vom Heini was born in the Farrow Islands in the North Atlantic. Basically in the middle of nowhere. He grew up there and moved to Denmark when it was time for college. Heini says that he was always entrepreneurial, and his father was a “super-nerd,” so the whole family was into technology. When he left college, he wanted to start a business. He found success after a few small enterprises with a software security company. The company did well and still exists, but he wanted to create something more fun. So, about 10 years ago, he noticed that there was no way to judge wine. There was no rating, no information, etc. He started building something really for himself and the idea was to create a web-database for wine. One thing Heini notes is timing. They hit it right on for timing with smart phones coming online and giving people the ability to take a picture of a label and get instant info and a rating. A few years earlier and that would not have been possible, so timing was huge in the success of Vivino. Talk to us about how being an outsider can help you in succeeding as a business… Heini was definitely an outsider. The priority was building the solution for the average wine drinker. He found that when he talked to people in the industry, they thought alike and were kind of a “herd mentality.” He found that what made the product win was creating a product more for the masses and not the connoisseurs. Talk about launching the product… When they launched, there were 600 other wine apps, but more geared to the wine expert. Most people are more casual around wine. They wanted something that was easy, could help them quickly, and know they are getting a good deal. They wanted to find a way to empower people in their ability to choose Over 30 million users, what can you teach us about how to grow and build an online community? There are no silver bullets. The Vivino group has been extremely product focused. Early on, they released the product quickly, but then really listened to the feedback and actioned it. The continuously improved for 2 years. Make sure to have your priorities right. Your only priority is getting people to absolutely love your product. You must know your core user. You can’t please everyone. So, focus on the core and make them raving fans. Keep things simple for people to use and engage your product. You can always add to it, so don’t give too much to start. What ways did you market and gain visibility as you began to grow? One thing that has helped was building the app around something that people are sociable and enjoy – win. It makes it relatable. Be careful with spending too much time promoting the product early in the beginning. Pour that energy into the product. Your users will be your best marketers Are there any mediums that you promote through that work better than others? Be humble. Targeting smaller blogs with loyal followers was very helpful for them. This works well when you are in niche and can be a big fish in a small pond. What are the biggest lessons you’ve learned about growing and scaling a business? Things change a lot. Your role as a founder changes a lot. See it as a layer cake When you start out, you do everything Then you begin to take slices out and give them to others to take one Slowly you get to where you are focused on what you are best for in the business You will have to hand duties off. Talk about replacing yourself in the business…. First you start as a manager as the company grows Then you become a leader of leaders At some point, you will grow to a point where someone out there will be a better CEO for the future growth of the company. You must be willing to let go. At the 24 min mark, Heini talks about what he looked for when he wanted to replace himself and find a CEO to take the company into the future. What have you learned from raising capital? If you have a free, community-based product, it is very hard to succeed without raising funding vs. a product you may sell business to business. Raising money is hard, but the hardest part is building something that millions of people can use. There is plenty of money out there, but you must build something that can have a huge footprint and has a path to profitability Investors don’t invest in ideas – they care about what you’ve built. Many times, your first round will come from your network and people you know. Check out Heini’s YouTube channel Raw Startup to hear him talk more about this topic. Do you have any critical habits that you practice and contribute to your success? Sleep and a good rest routine is important. Commuting to work on a bike giving exercise, but also shutting out the noise and allows you to think and come up with ideas. Other advice? A lot of successful entrepreneurs that do well have a little bit of insecurity about how they are performing which spurs them to keep over-performing and making sure they are winning. Don’t rest on your achievements. Always believe in your luck.   Best Quote: "Always believe in your luck."   Heini's Misfit 3: Always build something. When we are building something in our lives – a business, a garden, a relationship, we find purpose and meaning. Think big, but start small. Little steps lead to the big picture. There are no naysayers unless you choose to hear them and believe them.
