Distill Ventures

Distill Ventures was born out of a realisation that there were many visionary drinks entrepreneurs with barriers holding them back and little access to resources to help them build global brands. Unlike industries like tech where this support already existed. The company wanted to change that and combined a passion for drinks and a range of experts to fill the void. Distill Ventures turned toDiageoas a partner and in 2013 the world's first accelerator for the liquor industry was born.

With offices in both London and New York, their co-founders and portfolio directors have experience working with both drinks and startups, giving them real insight into the industry and helping to support founder-led brands. The experience of a 17-strong team, coupled with a 16-member Redwood brand sales force, means they have a strong global presence and an exceptional range of expertise to leverage when it comes to supporting the founders of a portfolio company.
