The acceleration program has been promoted and managed by ITA - Italian Trade Agency, the Governmental agency that supports the business development of italian companies abroad and promotes the attraction of foreign investment in Italy. The Global Start Up Program mission is to allow and encourage matching and network between the most interesting italian startups and international accelerators based all over the world.

"We've been dreaming about an opportunity like this since the beginning of our journey, when Winedering was just an idea." Stefano Tulli and Denis Seghetti said. "Being in the Silicon Valley,  the land of technological innovation and at the same time live and experience the  Napa Valley wine destination, will give us the chance to accelerate the innovation and scale-up project we've been working on. We'll get the opportunity to experience the American Start Up ecosystem, talk with business angels, ventures, investors and share with them the vision of our company and the opportunities generated by mixing digitalization and wine tourism.

At the end of 2022, Winedering will reach about half millions users, will have brought about 10.000 travelers in wineries all over Italy and will probably be the most visited wine tourism marketplace worldwide after being the most visited by far in Italy.
Now it's time to scale with the help of Runway Innovation Hub and to push hard on the internationalization of the platform.
