Air Cork: the story of an inventor who became an entrepreneur

Posted By Pierre-Nicolas Schwab on 26 Oct, 2012

Beautiful stories need to be known. So is the story of Eric Corti, the inventor of Air Cork.

Eric presented his already well-developed concept of wine preserver in ABS show “The Shark Tank”. He turned down a $1m offer to buy his idea and decided to launch it by himself and embrace the entrepreneurship path. This was probably a difficult decision but the challenge was worth it.

It was worth the challenge because Air Cork is really an amazing product, a mini revolution for those who opened a wine bottle and want to preserve it.

The Air Cork is the successful result of a divergent thinking process combined to the re-creation of a new, improved customer experience. Not only has wine preserving become a fun activity but Air Cork brings a breakthrough in terms of performances.
