RedsipFounder & Head of Product
Sep. 2016 - Jan. 2024San Francisco Bay AreaRedsip is a food & wine community platform that connects users to experience providers, as well as to each other. Modeled on the creator monetization model, the platform enables commerce and connects aficianados from over 90 countries and has a reach to a proxy community of 2M+ wine enthusiasts. I founded Redsip in Sep of 2016. It was my first business, and an incredible learning experience on so many fronts. It took a couple of pivots and 2 years to land our first beta. But that grit and the determination created an enormous amount of momentum for Redsip in its mission to connect everyone in the wine world. I covered all aspects of the business. I serve as our CEO and effectively our Head of Product. The hardest thing that I've overcome is to fit our technology into a cohesive larger vision that's going to allow us to go viral on a lean and tight budget. From hundreds of hypothetical experiments, I led a cross-functional team of data scientists, engineers, designers, and marketing to identify growth levers at different stages successfully. Key achievements in our journey from conception to product-market-fit, then to monetization included: - Viral factor at 1.5x in 90 days from the beta launch, and user invitations generated 1.5M unique visitors;
- Ranked #2 trending android app in Food & Drinks category - 2m user-gent content within first 12 months from launch
- Significantly improved product engagement and drove a 400% increase in time spent per DAU
- 60% MOM growth on MRR
