When I first encountered EBar 7 years ago, they were a tiny two-person start-up with a brilliant idea and a great demo. I knew straight away this business could scale-up and thrive. It’s been exciting watching their journey and now I’m thrilled to join such a talented team and be part of their mission to transform bar service worldwide.
