## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2021, Baxus Corp. is a provider of blockchain-based technology for purchasing, trading, and securing collectible wines and spirits on the blockchain. Tzvi (Todd) Wiesel (CEO) and Carrie Kellar (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In May 2024, Baxus Corp. raised USD 5 million in seed funding led by Multicoin Capital, including Solana Ventures, Narwhal Ventures, and FJ Labs.

The company provides an online marketplace that offers a platform for buying and selling premium spirits directly between individuals. The firm’s marketplace offers an extensive selection of premium spirits spanning various categories, including whisky, bourbon, rum, tequila, vodka, and more. Baxus’ platform allows users to explore the platform, searching by name, distillery, or type, and utilize filters to refine their search according to their preferences. The platform facilitates peer-to-peer transactions, allowing individuals to list their spirits for sale and connect directly with interested buyers. In addition, the company’s platform offers real-time analytics, empowering users with collection insights and pricing data.

The organization plans to use the May 2024 funding to further develop its sensor and vaulting technologies and expand its market reach.
