Winery Investment Syndication
A Modern Approach to Raising Capital, Selling More Wine and Having a Bit More Fun
Crushpad Syndicate extends our philosophy of democratizing wine making to your wine business. Share the cost of starting a wine business with 2 or 200 colleagues, friends and family, and do it without giving up control in the long-term. Even better, by creating your own syndicate you now have a built-in force of passionate investors to help sell.
The Crushpad Syndicate package includes everything you need to get going with support for all 50 states.

We provide a pre-packaged set of documents you use to create your LLC and then syndicate the investment to a group of wine enthusiasts who share your vision. Or you can have us do all the work. The model is based on a simple revenue share agreement where you retain all of the equity of the business, avoid annual filings for investors, and give investors a predictable return. Crushpad also provides services for logo'd merchandise and can even host your investors at our Sonoma winery.
A Great Deal for Investors
Let's face it, there are few things as cool as being an investor in a winery. In addition to the social currency investors get from pouring their wine for others, you can provide additional advantages such as discounts and unique wines, logowear, special events and other things that engage your investor community. Because they get a percentage of revenue, they can see how they make money. And there's virtually no risk to them - in the worst case, they get wine.
Your Sales Accelerator
10 people can sell a lot more wine than 1. Wine is promoted through your investors' networks, their local restaurants and they also purchase for personal consumption. By being part of an investment syndicate there is often a social bond that makes people put in just a bit more effort to make sure they're doing their part. They have fun and your wine sells out.
