Altea Update: Jan 24

Astute Alts subscribers (that’s you) know Alts has two communities for you to enjoy:

🎩 Altea, our ​private community​ for accredited investors who want access to unbelievable deals (really, you won’t believe some of the stuff that comes across my desk), join us on life-altering trips, and meet incredible people (​try Altea for $99​)

🍿 Backstage, our broader space where All-Access members shoot the sh*t about alternative investing, dive into ​gated content​, drop ​questions​ into AMA sessions with ​deal sponsors​, dig into our library of ​book recommendations​, find ​investable gifts​, and read my ​cattle gallstone business plan​.

Altea members get an All-Access pass for free, usually costing $200 annually.

From now on, you’ll see all the best from both communities in this note.

Wait, you’re not a member yet?!

For a limited time, you can join ​Altea​ – the world’s most enriching community for alternative investors – for only $99.

​Get stuck in​ if you’ve not already, and you could be in next week’s highlights.

👀 For your Radar

🍹 Altea’s Buying a Tequila Distillery (maybe)

We’ve got a line on a tequila distillery in Mexico, and Altea has negotiated the right to buy up to around 30% of the equity.

Tequila distillery certifications are rarer than pre-Uber NYC taxi medallions. ​There are only 259​, and you must have one to produce tequila.

Otherwise, you’re just making ​agave spirit slop​.

Our distillery has one.

We’re also partnering with two industry experts to ensure it’s cash-flowing from the start.

  1. A leader in tequila brand creation and private label production, and
  2. A US-based alcohol producer offering co-packing, import, distribution, and group purchasing.

The acquisition includes onsite state-of-the-art facilities that are already operational but working well under capacity.

This is early days, and we’ll have more info soon.

PS: If this goes ahead, we’ll have a launch party for investors in Jalisco in April-ish

​Drop your details to stay in the loop​.

We expect this deal to be very popular. Priority will be to Altea members.

For a limited time, you can join ​Altea​ – the world’s most enriching community for alternative investors – for only $99.

Altea Update: Jan 31

Thanks to relationships we’ve built in Mexico via two tequila investments and two trips to the Jalisco region, we have the opportunity to ​invest in a tequila distillery​ buyout.

Altea Update: Dec 17 – Big Update

Before we begin, let’s celebrate a win. The first loan made via ​Film I​ has been paid back. LPs earned 9% absolute interest on a five-week loan (that’s 149% IRR for those scoring at home).
