Age-gate compliance service for alcohol ecommerce
A regulated-web service that installs and manages online age verification flows for craft breweries and alcohol sellers.
The idea, in plain language
A digital compliance service installs and manages online age-verification flows for craft breweries and other alcohol sellers, often described as acting as a "digital bouncer" before a visitor reaches the site or checkout. Revenue is subscription or per-brewery fees for the hosted widget plus compliance dashboards. Customers are craft breweries and small alcohol brands legally required to gate their sites. Startup is essentially a hosted widget, a small dashboard and a sales motion into breweries. The episode covers identifying the regulatory pain point but gives no specific revenue numbers.
