After graduating from the London School of Economics with a degree in political science, I worked for Fidelity Worldwide Investment for two years in the fund distribution business. In February 2014, while at Fidelity, I launched the wine app Grapeful. What started out as a fun hobby (and an excuse to drink wine) quickly turned into a true passion with real business potential. I took the plunge in the summer of 2014 to leave my job and focus on Grapeful full time.
Grapeful is a mobile app that helps you pair food with wine, view restaurant wine lists, discover wine styles, impress a date with fun/geeky facts about wine, and more. It is free for iOS and Android devices - download it if you like wine (or even if you don't)!
