Video Application for MassChallenge 2023 from Williamson Mead and Brewing.

I'm Matthew Williamson, the founder of Williamson Mead and Brewing
We are company passionate about creating high-quality Meads and Ciders that are not only delicious, but also have a positive impact on our community and environment.
In 2022 sales in the domestic wine industry in the United States were over 33 Billion. Meads and Ciders accounted for less than 3% of that total. We believe there exists an incredible opportunity to grow this segment of the Wine Industry by introducing new philosophies and processes that are not just profit minded, but also contribute to sustainability and social responsibility.
Our unique production process, the Williamson Process, sets us apart from the competition and has earned us recognition in the industry with over 166 awards and accolades. Our ability to create world class products is matched by an ability to do it in 1) a geometrically shorter time and 2) with significantly less energy and water used. This means we are perfectly positioned to attract a growing number of customers who are seeking out unique and high-quality craft beverages that are sustainable.
But our mission goes beyond simply making great Meads and Ciders. We are also committed to being a responsible and environmentally friendly business that is an active partner in our community. That's why we are committed to sourcing the majority of our raw materials from local suppliers and hiring, training, and educating an entirely local workforce, thus making a significant and positive impact to the economic well-being of our county and the State of North Carolina.
In conclusion if you're looking for a delicious and socially responsible craft beverage, look no further than Williamson Mead and Brewing. Come taste the difference and join us in this Brewing Revolution.
Thank you for considering us for MassChallenge, and we look forward to continuing our mission of creating high-quality, sustainable, and impactful Meads and Ciders for years to come.
