Winc Wines

Winc is the first customized, subscription-based site for wine.

They are an online community of wine enthusiasts committed to taking the hassle, guesswork, and pretentiousness out of enjoying a great bottle of wine at a reasonable price. For far too long buying wine has been a one-way street with experts using overblown wine jargon to tell people what to drink.

Their mission is to transform choosing wine into an ongoing conversation between their curators and users personal tastes. Wine is not about being told what to drink, it’s about the experience of discovering what you like. It’s time for choosing and buying wine to catch up with the simple, personal pleasure of drinking it.

I’m on a mission to transform bold ideas into unstoppable growth. Over the past decade, I’ve founded and scaled multiple SalesTech and MarTech ventures—including Belkins (a top-rated B2B Aquistion agency) and Folderly (an all-in-one Email Deliverability platform)—because I believe in building real solutions that fuel revenue and spark innovation.

When I’m not busy refining outbound sales strategies or optimizing email performance, I invest in and advise forward-thinking tech ventures like InSoft Partners, Wordstir, GigRadar, Winc Wines, and Cloudfresh. From product creation to digital marketing, I’m all about pushing boundaries and crafting winning growth strategies that make a real impact.

I’m always seeking new opportunities to collaborate, whether it’s co-building the next product disruptor, exploring M&A possibilities, or strategizing with fellow founders and investors on high-potential projects.

If you’re looking to scale your organization, launch a transformative venture, or explore strategic partnerships across industries, let’s connect and turn big ambitions into lasting success.

5 out of 350,000. 🌍

The Global Clutch 1000 rankings are just out. 

Out of 350,000+ registered companies and 50,000 active agencies, Belkins Inc.  is ranked #5 in the world.

The reality of our climb:

2022: #53 
2023: #9 
2024: #4 
2025: #5

Yes, we moved one spot down from last year. But frankly? I have never been prouder of this team.

2025 was one of the most challenging years in our history. We didn’t just "maintain" operations; we tore down our playbook and rebuilt it from the ground up.

We shifted to a true full-funnel approach:

✅ Moving fully into omnichannel 
✅ Mastering cold calling 
✅ Engaging larger enterprise customers 
✅ Navigating longer contract cycles and narrower ICPs

To execute a massive operational pivot and still rank in the Top 0.01% globally is a testament to our consistency. 

Clutch  is the Gartner  of the agency world this benchmark matters.

Yet the year was hard for us, we are finishing strong.💪🏻 

Watch out, 2026. 

We’re coming for the Top 3.

Anthropic just released data on 100,000 real Claude conversations. 

The headline everyone's sharing: AI could double US labor productivity growth.

But here's what people are overlooking:

The bottleneck effect.

When AI speeds up 80% of your tasks, the remaining 20% becomes your new ceiling.

Think of it like a highway. You can widen 8 lanes to 16 lanes. But if there's still a 2-lane bridge in the middle? Traffic jams anyway.

The research shows massive time savings across nearly every occupation (75-86%). Management. Engineering. Legal. Education.

But the gap between tasks is where the real opportunity lives.

Some tasks hit 86% time savings. Others barely crack 61%.

The companies that win won't just adopt AI faster. They'll redesign their workflows around the bottlenecks AI creates.

That's the unsexy work nobody wants to do.

And the reason why most "we're using AI" announcements will amount to nothing in 12 months.

The winners will be bottleneck hunters.

OpenAI will just declared “Code Red.”

Sam Altman told employees they’re mobilizing all resources to improve ChatGPT amid growing pressure from Google.

What’s happening:

→ More staff shifting to ChatGPT features and personalization

→ Testing ads for free users (including shopping-related)

→ Slowing down AI agents and other products

→ Prioritizing image generation (6+ months without updates)

→ Fixing “excessive refusals” on harmless questions

→ New reasoning model dropping next week that “beats Gemini 3”

Google’s Gemini hit 650M monthly users in October. ChatGPT still leads with 800M+ weekly users — but the gap is closing.

This isn’t about models anymore. It’s about distribution.

Google owns the home screen. OpenAI built superior intelligence but is now realizing: the best product doesn’t always win. 

The most accessible one does.

This is what my inbox looks like right now. 🚓💨

We’ve all been the white Bronco.

When you send generic, high-volume outreach without a strategy, you aren't building a relationship. You’re just another flashing light in the rearview mirror.

Smart outreach isn't about the chase. It’s about relevance.

It’s about landing in the inbox because you belong there, not because you forced your way in.

That’s the difference between "May I meet you?" and "I’m glad we met."

Success with AI is probabilistic, not deterministic.

Every thumbs-up you give, every prompt you write, every feed you reset - you're not just using AI, you're teaching it what matters.

And it's teaching you what to want next.

We obsess over which model to choose while ignoring the loop we're already inside.

The real question: are you steering this thing, or just along for the ride?

Simple observations, fresh benchmarks, and a few model updates worth your time. You know, it’s extremely hard to create a newsletter, but I will do my

We have crossed the threshold where AI models aren't just tools, they are nuclear reactors capable of blackmailing engineers and coding entire products.

The path to a one-person unicorn is no longer theoretical, it is open to anyone bold enough to wield this power.

If the speed of this shift doesn't terrify you, you aren't paying attention, but if you aren't shipping, you are missing the opportunity of a lifetime.

Ads are now showing inside Google’s AI 

Overviews and AI Mode answers. I just saw them and wondered. 

Not above.

Not “sponsored links.”

Inside the AI-generated answer itself.

This is the biggest shift in Search since the launch of Google Ads in 2000, and most people have no idea it’s happening.

So basically/

• You’re no longer competing for the “top spot.”
You’re competing for a position inside an AI summary.

• Advertisers can’t choose this placement.
Google decides when you appear.

• It’s still your regular Search campaigns.
But the context they appear in is completely different.

• SEO gets even harder.
AI Overviews already reduced organic clicks.
Now paid placements are being inserted right into the answer layer.
 
• SEM becomes less about keywords and more about query intent alignment with AI explanations.

Google is turning AI Overviews into the new homepage of the internet — and monetizing it before most CMOs even understand how it works.

The brands who adjust their strategy now will dominate the next 12–24 months.
Everyone else will wake up to a 30–40% drop in organic traffic and rising CPCs.

The old playbook is dead.

AI Search is not “coming.”

It’s here.
