A love of wine became a passion to serve the entire beverage industry.
In The beginning
The inspiration for POURED Inc began like all revolutionary ideas do: on the back of a napkin. But really, it took root over 30 years ago in the city of Modesto, CA.
POURED Inc’s founder, Edgar de Gracia, is the proud son of a Mexican immigrant. He grew up working weekends and summer with his dad and brothers in the Central Valley vineyards picking grapes. It was in those vineyards where Edgar’s profound love of wine first emerged.
What began as a timeless father-son bonding experience has now grown into an opportunity to transform the entire three-tier distribution system of alcohol for the better.
With POURED, we’ve developed the most advanced AI-powered SaaS platform on the planet for fast, accurate and easy data collection related to on & off-premise product placements across all markets.
An ardent love affair with wine is what brought us here. A duty to provide all the hardworking distributors, suppliers and retailers with 360° market visibility is what keeps us forging ahead with more innovation and data transparency for the future.
Keep your glass full. Cheers!
