Your interest paid in fine wine, with Maxime Debure (WineFunding)

<p>When you lend someone money, you give up the usage of those funds - temporarily if things go well, permanently if they don't - and so, to make it worth your while, you charge the borrower interest. That's just business. But sometimes business is good to you, and instead of your interest being paid in boring old Euros, you get paid in fine wine!</p><br><p><br></p><p>That's the concept behind <a href="https://www.winefunding.com/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WineFunding</a>, the world's first crowdfunding and alternative financing platform specifically for wine companies. With equity and debt-based model, any wine lover can now also become a wine producer, and drink the glorious rewards of that work.</p><br><p><br></p><p>"It's a passion investment, but it doesn't need to be irrational or risky."</p><br><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.winefunding.com/en/menu_item_pages/winefunders-pourquoi-contribuer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WineFunding</a>'s home page is at https://www.winefunding.com/en, with the list of available and funded projects at https://www.winefunding.com/en/projects/explore (I picked this one essentially out of the hat for the episode, https://www.winefunding.com/en/domainebaudon but you're just out of time to participate now)</p><br><p><br></p><p>You can also find videos of those projects on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/c/Winefunding</p><br><p><br></p><p><a href="https://winehub.fr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WineHub</a>, the co-working and events space dedicated to the wine industry and whose seed funding was raised on the WineFunding platform, can be found here: https://winehub.fr/</p><br><p><br></p><p>If LinkedIn is more your pace, you can find Maxime there (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maximedebure/) as well as pages for <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/winefunding/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WineFunding </a>and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/winehub-coworking/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
