Businesses in the drinks industry encounter unique challenges, such as significant liquidity constraints (with funds tied up in stock and lengthy payment terms), an outdated and complex supply chain, and a highly regulated global market that creates friction and barriers to international sales. Ferovinum has developed an end-to-end digital platform that empowers businesses to fund, produce, procure, and sell in global wine and spirits markets. The producers of spirits and wines are generally small to medium-sized businesses, and Ferovinum’s pitch is that its technology, which provides working capital and supply chain automation tools, will benefit from this rocket-boosted tech. It offers a comprehensive suite of foundational services, including capital funding, supply chain automation, international logistics, and access to global trade channels. The company’s founders certainly have experience in financial management, one having overseen structured commodity financing at the Macquarie Group and the other having a history of executive directing restructuring for investment banks. With production and distribution tools at its disposal, Ferovinum offers predictive inventory management, seamless integration, and international logistics. Its one-size-fits-all technology has already benefitted some of the oldest scotch whiskey distilleries in Scotland on a pilot scheme, funded by a £100 million investment in Ferovinum in 2021. Though still in its early days, the company seems set to attract more clients as its technology evolves.

Xoju is an ultra-premium Korean spirit (40% ABV) made from the finest hand-picked apples, double distilled in charente-copper, and aged in porcelain. It’s the first of its kind. An embodiment of Korean culture, then and now. Soju has been the #1 selling spirit in the world over the past two decades. Yet they have been predominantly distributed in Koreatowns (i.e. kbbq restaurants) and consumed in the affordable 13-24% ABV form of soju. Xoju is here to redefine what a Korean spirit is by bringing a top shelf, 40% ABV product to a western world, where there is zero representation of eastern spirits in liquor. Our mission is to bring Eastern representation in liquor to the West, celebrate the legacy of our heritage, and bridge the gap in both cultures. We're led by former founders, creatives and media personalities and backed by a stellar group of angels, strategics and operators. To learn more, visit xoju.com
