We currently have three active deals. To invest, start your free trial.
This is a $400k investment in Mexico’s first architectural barrel facility isn’t an alternative asset. It’s a real estate arbitrage backed by 50 years of proof.
Phase 1: The Scotch Model (Immediate B2B Cash Flow)
Your investment funds a 300-barrel storage facility generating $80k–$100k in annual recurring B2B revenue, insulated from tourism swings.
Phase 2: The Bourbon Scaling (Tourism & Experiences)
Storage scales to 900 barrels (over $320k in B2B revenue) while adding high-margin premium tasting rooms and experiential tours.
Phase 3: The Napa Transformation (Hospitality & Events)
Modular luxury suites and event spaces unlock hospitality revenue, with flexible units that shift between lodging, events, or additional storage.
We have a $250k allocation to Wyoming’s new stablecoin trade finance deal.
Any vendors who want to sell things to the Wyoming Stable Token Commission can do so via their new USD-backed stable token.
Those transactions are being handled via Hashfire, and vendors have the option to receive payment (at a discount) early for invoices not yet due — this is called receivables finance and is very commonly done.
Our ALTS 1 Fund gives you access to a meticulously-chosen blend of alternative assets across the 10 markets we know best.
Since Feb 2021, we’ve analyzed 800+ deals. We choose assets designed to diversify your portfolio and protect against inflation.
ALTS 1 is an opportunity to invest in a broad basket of alternatives uncorrelated to public equities. You’ll stay one step ahead of the market and get exposure to exotic alternatives larger funds don’t provide.
The fund has a 10 year duration, and all funds will be returned at the exit
Here are a few deals we’ve closed
Our first deal was a bundle of 7 artwork pieces an undervalued British Surrealist whose work has been the subject of renewed academic and commercial interest.
We believed her works were undervalued and were able to get access to some exclusive pieces of hers through our London art broker.
Four of the pieces in the collection have already been sold for a 108% return — way beyond our expectations. Three of the pieces remain in our possession.
Through the same London art connection that brought us Art Bundle I, we got the opportunity to acquire three unique pieces by legendary German/British artist Frank Auerbach.
While highly respected by critics and institutions, he’s been somewhat under the radar in the society pages relative to contemporaries. So we acquired one of Auerbach’s newer “Charcoal Portraits.”
Update: On Nov 13, the 93-year old Holocaust survivor passed away.
There are less than 250k survivors still alive today, and Frank was one of the most interesting and successful.
May his message and artwork live on forever and continue to appreciate over time.
Tequila is one of our favorite alternative investments. On the heels of our investor trip to Mexico (along with a rigorous due diligence process) we acquired 80 barrels of 100% Agave Tequila through our tequila broker in Jalisco, Mexico.
The plan is to sell half of the barrels after 3 years. Based on market conditions, we’ll then decide whether to sell the remaining barrels, or hold for two more years.
Our approach to exit will be through wholesale channels, including distilleries, bottlers, and brands within the Tequila ecosystem via auction. Other possible buyers include private collectors, independent bottlers, and other specialized investment companies (i.e., whiskey investment funds).
A few weeks ago, Altea member Chris Daniels burst onto the scene with a film investing opportunity our members couldn’t pass up. It was a collateralized debt position in an upcoming Clive Owen film, yielding 15% over sixteen weeks (57% annualized).
He gets lots of these deals, but each deal requires investors to move quickly. Chris solved this by putting together a five-year investment vehicle that reinvests capital across dozens of film projects.
Only Altea members can invest in this fund.
Auto I will take advantage of the proven arbitrage opportunity available between acquiring classic passion vehicles in the UK and selling them into the United States.
Some vehicles consistently sell for much more in the US than in the UK. Many were either never available in America due to emissions standards and safety requirements, or the versions imported were nerfed so much that they became distinctly undesirable relative to their brethren across the pond.
However, once a vehicle reaches 25 years of age, all the emissions, safety, and import standards go away, which creates a repeatable opportunity if you know where, how, and what to buy.
Many of these are iconic automobiles, such as the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, Ferrari 512 M, and Lamborghini Diablo GT, and there’s a long track record of repeatable success.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire publishing and writer rights to a catalog from a top 5 global K-pop group.
This group has broken industry norms for longevity, popularity, and international appeal, generating consistent royalty revenue years beyond the typical K-pop decay curve.
While the artist & track details remain confidential, you can express interest to get access to the full data room.
We’re putting together a new SPV with Fenchurch Legal, a UK-based litigation financier that turns small legal claims into secured private credit.
This is a fixed-income play — not a bet on court outcomes. Fenchurch lends to law firms, not plaintiffs, and uses ATE insurance to protect investor capital. Win or lose, capital + interest is repaid
Any Altea member can bring a deal to the Altea community. Members can invest in any of these deals.
However, some deals are extra special. They receive expressions of interest far above the normal level, and offer special terms at high levels of investment ($250,000+). For the very best deals like these, we put together a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and invest together with the community as one.
SPVs are great for deals with high minimums that would otherwise be out of reach. They allow Altea members to test the waters with a smaller investment amount than would otherwise be required.
All our SVPs are structured as series LLCs to keep costs minimal. We work with a platform called Acquire to manage the documents, data room, KYC, and all administrative tasks.
Once your documents are signed, funds are wired directly to a bank account created specifically for each SPV. Investors are kept up to date with valuation within the Acquire and the Altea platforms.
Each SPV includes a small one-time subscription fee to cover the costs of the SPV formation, legal docs, Blue Sky filings, and other registration requirements. This fee varies depending on the complexity of the deal, location, and number of investors. Costs are made explicitly clear for each deal.
For investments without existing associated fees, we charge a standard 2% management fee and 20% carry on any investment profits.
For investments that already have associated fees, we charge a 1% annual management fee and a 10% carry for these opportunities.
Launch JV is ~50% allocated and Film I booked >100% IRR on a $50k payoff; we’re in Miami for ABS East (dinner Oct 21), Tequila I/II checks with Tequila III teased, Auto I closed a Ferrari 512 M, 23 new members, Dan Remy tops, and affiliates earn 30%.
“There’s a surge in sales of antique art and artifacts coming out of China. Concurrently, the Hong Kong government is gearing up for stablecoin licenses for HK and China companies. I do know that a few of them are in the art business…so watch this space!”
Tequila II is our stake in Herencia de Agaves tequila distillery in Jalisco Mexico, and the enterprise is progressing nicely, Launch JV is Film I’s bigger badder version 2.0, and the opportunity closed this week with a $2.5m raise, and More..
This week in Altea: co-invests (spacetech, premium tequila), a Fenchurch Legal secured-notes SPV, and a K-Pop fund coming. 16 new members, meetups in NYC/LA/HK, fresh swag—plus debates on AI music, crypto, and pre-IPO liquidity
