“Viridian spirits, founders of lucid absinthe, retained socket and Matt Wenzler in 2007. Socket took over all of our financial functions, and matt acted as our outside CFO. In addition to keeping accurate books and managing receivables and payables through the turbulent times of the recession, matt helped create a complex business model of the company’s operations that served as the foundation of all of our budgeting and financial planning until we sold the brand in 2013. Matt has become an expert in the economics and finances of the spirits industry. He is now working with the management team on a new venture. Investors have already remarked at the sophistication of his models. We recommend socket without reservation.” - Jared Gurfein, co-founder, Viridian Spirits

We actually see ourselves as one big vbeauté family, not two separate companies- which is the best testimonial I can give.” - Julie Macklowe, vbeauté
