TasteAdvisor
ALYSSA FARR
CO-FOUNDER | 2019 Cohort
The TasteAdvisor app uses AI to match a consumer’s personal taste preferences to a database of all regional wines, resulting in an accurate, personalized wine list.
Based on personal tastes, the solution also connects consumers with regional wineries, events and experiences – a navigation tool for exploring a region and an easy channel to purchasing. The platform can be white labelled to enable a wine region to easily customize content.
“Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or successful business owner, e@UBCO will give you the time, coaching, and tools you need to look at your venture from a broader and more strategic perspective.”
