Dined & Wined is initiating its fundraising with a $400K seed round as part of a broader $2M capital raise to launch the business and establish its first market. This initial tranche of capital will be used to activate the Tucson pilot, secure early restaurant partnerships, onboard winery supply, and deploy the core retail and logistics infrastructure needed to validate the model. This phased approach allows the company to de-risk execution while building momentum toward a scalable, multi-city platform.
