ABOUT US

Bringing fine wine investing and innovation to everyone.

We are on the mission to give access to everyone to alternative assets like fine wine and making it inclusive, educational and fun.
WHY WE'RE STARTING SOMMTRUST

Successful and active investing is really hard and costly for most people.

We believe that alternative investments have the potential to become increasingly accessible and fruitful for our generation. Alternative investments resonate with millennials in particular. They allow individuals to invest in specific assets they identify with or have a particular view on, providing the opportunity to outperform the market average.
The problem

Access is not public, and it can be tricky to identify which wine will outperform the rest.

Institutional investors and high net worth individuals have relied on alternative investments such as fine wine to diversify their portfolios for decades. Even for those with access, there is limited transparency on a daily basis and low liquidity.
OUR GOALS

This divide didn’t sit well with us, so we built Sommtrust: a world-class wine investment platform that actually empowers individuals.

To accomplish these goals, we’re building a passionate team of people that bridge technology, and wine expertise.
