Anthony Zhang is the Co-Founder and CEO of Vinovest a platform where you can invest in fine wine! He is featured on Forbes, NBC News, People Magazine and more. Anthony is a repeat entrepreneur who has previously founded and sold two companies, EnvoyNow and KnowYourVC. He has also held leadership positions at Blockfolio and is a board member at RateMyInvestor. Anthony is also a Thiel Fellow.
Anthony has an amazing story, he is a college dropout, but has been an entrepreneur through his college career as he has already sold two businesses at a young age of 25. Anthony has stated that his big shift was when he skipped class one day to go see Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett- where he was actually able to pitch to them and secured a $100,000 investment for 5% equity in his company. As he continued to work on his start-up as you hear him speak on this podcast and on as an article on Medium.com describes it, "Anthony was faced with great adversity. Anthony was in an accident in a swimming pool in 2016 which left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was in the hospital for months and took some time away from his business to work on his recovery. Anthony’s physical rehabilitation is a priority in his life, and he continues to work on his recovery today" (Medium.com, Matt Shaffer).
That being said even as he is paralyzed from the neck down he is a WARRIOR changing up the investment space by allowing the everyday investor to invest in Fine Wine- an asset that does not have real correlation to the stock market sort of like gold (Disclaimer: neither Anthony, or I are providing any investment advice in this podcast). It is a really cool alternative investment that has an exceptional founder heading it. Anthony spends time on this podcast helping educate you on why you should keep pushing and striving through adversity. Because life will get tough, but look at Anthony he never quit, never stopped, and just continues to ADAPT!
