Kurt founded Next Glass, a service that analyzes the chemical compounds in wine and beer to figure out what's driving a person's drink taste. After a Next Glass user tells the service what wines and beers he likes, Next Glass will use the underlying chemical structure to make scientifically-based drink recommendations. The Next Glass app got 250,000 downloads in its first three weeks in the Apple app store and is growing at a 100,000-downloads-per-week pace.
