Bartesian: Ryan Close

In this episode I am joined by Ryan Close, Founder & CEO of Bartesian, behind the revolutionary at-home cocktail machine that has transformed home entertaining. Officially launched in 2019, Bartesian skyrocketed to over $100M in DTC sales in under three years, with millions of cocktails served monthly. Ryan delves into the brand’s journey from its innovative concept to its retail expansion into 1,800 Walmart locations, the power of influencer marketing, and how Bartesian has capitalized on the growing trend of at-home indulgence. Tune in to hear how Bartesian is redefining the cocktail experience.
