Is your beverage brand in fundraising mode? If so, this is the episode for you! We talk with Giuseppe Infusino, a partner and the chief investment officer at InvestBev, a private equity firm that deploys growth capital to drinks brands. He leads InvestBev's investment sourcing, diligence, and structuring processes, and partners with portfolio companies to increase their likelihood of success. In this masterclass, Giuseppe shares his proprietary, 4-part framework for fundraising success — Plan, Path, Pitch, and Process. By the end of the episode you'll have answers to these questions:  In the PLAN stage: How should I frame my product, and the opportunity it represents, to investors? What do investors want to know about my company's infrastructure? What should I be prepared to share about my customers and GTM strategy? In the PATH stage: What are the different types of funding I should be aware of? How can I find potential funding sources? How should I approach potential funders? At the PITCH stage: How should I think about my pitch deck? What is the most essential information I need in that deck? How can I improve my chances of success?  In the PROCESS stage: What happens after the pitch? How can I effectively support the process?  What else should I be thinking about? If you want an edge on pitching to investors in today's challenging fundraising climate, listen in.  Stay tuned for our next episode dropping on 7/24.  Links: Ep 22: Cann's Jake Bullock on Growing a THC Beverage Brand: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-of-drinks/episodes/22-How-THC-Drinks-Brand-Cann-Grew-to-36-Million-in-Sales--with-CEO-Jake-Bullock---Business-of-Drinks-e2g5r00/a-ab0ba9k Ep 7: InvestBev's Brian Rosen on Fractional Sales: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/business-of-drinks/episodes/07-Beverage-Alcohol-Sales-Strategies-with-Brian-Rosen---Business-of-Drinks-e25ljjj/a-ab64i9u Resilient Wine by Stevie Stacionis: https://resilientwine.substack.com/ Massican Wine: https://www.massican.com/ For the latest updates, follow us: Business of Drinks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/business-of-drinks/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizofdrinks/ Erica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks, and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

On this episode of end of day drinks, we're talking with Stevie Stacionis and Sarah Bray the founder and co-founder of Batonnage. Batonnage is the brainchild of all those who identify as women working in all the different facets of the wine industry. Even and especially those who have traditionally been overlooked or spoken over. The organization strives to educate wine professionals as well as wine industry supporters on the unique challenges and opportunities that women in the field from winemakers to vineyard workers, writers and marketers, sales people, somms, collectors and drinkers have faced both historically and in present-day. We’re going to speak with the two women about their new mentorship program and their plans for the future. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
