So proud to announce that @RNDC has invested in @AreYouThirstie. Building the relationship with Tom, Nick, Josh, and more recently Robert over a two-year period has been one of the most professionally and personally rewarding experiences I have had.https://t.co/4MGLFQDbYr

We couldn’t be prouder of this launch — which changes the “gifting” category forever. Much more to come. Thanks to @CharlieCole, Matt, Christina and their wonderful team for their vision and partnership. [@ftdflowers/@AreYouThirstie]

After much thought, I have decided to transition to a strategic board leadership role after leading Thirstie day-to-day for close to a decade. In this process, I have decided to pass the CEO baton forward to Max. [Click the following for more: https://t.co/HjBSyzUSHA ]

@AreYouThirstie @BevDynamics As e-commerce is a new ‘fourth tier’ within the alcohol ecosystem, it’s complex for brands to understand what is compliant and what isn’t. Thirstie has put compliance front/center, and made it a point to meet directly with regulators to understand how to build compliant solutions

[Thirstie @AreYouThirstie]

What will beverage alcohol #ecommerce look like in 2022? At @AreYouThirstie, we believe that commitment to compliance will eventually come to the forefront of alcohol retail tech. Thank you @BevDynamics for featuring our insights!
