Welcome to the best of the Alts Community.
Activate your membership here.
Summer continues to be hot, and most sane people are spending lazy days by the pool drinking daiquiris.
But not us! I’m writing up deal memos, slogging through due diligence on Ferraris, planning a site visit to Tequila, booking my stay at ABS East (holler if you’ll be there too), and getting ready for Altea’s biggest opportunity yet.
More to come on that soon.
Just one live deal this week, but it’s a banger…
Here’s something to get you in the mood.
As always, do your own research, nothing here is financial advice, and stay safe out there, kids.
Let’s go

💰 Live Deals
🤩 K-Pop I
I’m happy to report that due diligence is complete on our K-pop royalties deal.
There has been lots of demand for this one.
More than $4.5 million worth of interest has come through just this week.
While the artist & track details remain confidential, you can express interest to get access to the full data room.
(I’d like to give a big thanks to the community members who helped diligence this deal: Ryan O’Connor, Nick Patrick, Alairé Jameson and his industry friends, Amanda Denery and her team, Adrian Fu, Jaddan Comerford (we’ve brought Jaddan three other music rights deals in the past, this is the first one that he has loved), and Andrew Pratley.)

“Yeesh. I was blessed to lose a small amount of money in [Yieldstreet’s] REIT ventures early on. It’s kept me away from their other advertised deals. Actually all my REIT adventures have gone poorly — I still have 10 shares of Gladstone Land (way underwater) in my brokerage as a reminder not to buy into any more!” – Jen Adams
