Hi, I’m Andre.
About me

Entrepreneur.
First company @ 19 years old.
Online Wine Guide
& Selection of Wine Events
Adegga Wine Market:
850 People & 300 Wines
The Story of
Adegga.com
The idea.
What I thought consumers wanted.
Top 10 Whites for the Summer




What consumers really wanted.
Fail #1
Didn’t listen to
  customers.
What I thought wine producers wanted.
What wine producers really wanted.
Fail #2
Selling a product
customers didn’t
 want to pay for.
Lots of visibility.
Fail #3
Visibility is not
    money.
People want wine recommendations.

Producers want to promote their wines.

         I could make money
       promoting & selling wine
           at the same time.

        I was on to something!
Flash sales.
Adegga Selection!
Fail #4
Didn’t do proper
   research.
Back to the drawing board.

         Listen.
        Research.
         Discuss.
         Travel.
         Think.
Taste & Buy: A Wine Market!
Finally. Success #1!
What now?
Scale & Internationalize.
What have
I learned:
Keep your vision.
Embrace failure.
Fail fast.
Have passion.
Change the World.
f*****g
JUST DO IT.
Off ye go lads!
