Read online Welcome to the Alts Sunday Edition 👋 Hope you enjoyed last week's issue on Why the US Dollar Will Remain King. (If you missed that one, I highly recommend giving it a read — it’s one of my favorite pieces Brian has ever done.) Today I’ve got some cool news to share about Altea, our community for serious alternative investors. I usually keep Sunday Editions focused on markets, investment ideas, and unique financial topics. I try not to be too promotional. But every now and then, there’s a story about our own evolution that’s too important (and too fun) not to share. And today is one of those days. So sit back and enjoy this special edition. We’ll start with a very quick recap of this week’s live events — and then share what’s next for Altea. Let's go 👇 Altea Spring Meetups = Success! 🌸 In addition to investing in exceptional private deals, Altea members also get access to our investor trips — luxurious, life-changing, week-long travel experiences. If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ve no doubt heard about our big trips to Mexico and Nashville. (And yes — we're planning another big one in Las Vegas next March. More on that below!) This year, we’ve also started adding more local meetups — smaller, half-day events that are more accessible and affordable. As you may have seen, Wyatt hosted not one, not two, but three of these meetups last week: In New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Altea Spring Meetups took place last week in New York, Atlanta, and LA. All told, we had about 50 folks join among the three locations. (Stay tuned for Wyatt’s full recap — it’ll be a good one.) |
These meetups are a fantastic way to connect with fellow Alteans and learn from some of the best alternative investors in the world. But there’s just one problem: They’re still only available to Altea members — and we realize not everyone can swing a full membership. So we've decided to introduce new membership tiers. Altea is expanding 🥂 Altea is fundamentally about three things: Private investments. This is the cornerstone of what we do. Online community. We now house public and private spaces in one community. Real-life events. Including local meetups and multi-day trips. There's a lame widely overused saying across the alternative investing industry; that it's all about "democratization." Now, I am absolutely not a fan of this phrase, because I despise clichés which sound good but are ultimately meaningless. However, while democratization isn't the right term for the mainstreaming of alternative investments, expansion certainly is. Over the past year, some community members have told us they'd like a way to participate in Altea in a "lightweight fashion." Some have capacity to invest in just one deal per year. Others are new university graduates; eager to invest in deals, but burdened by student loans. So today, we're expanding Altea by introducing three new membership tiers: Altea Gateway Altea Base Altea Black Altea Gateway What is Altea Gateway? Altea Gatewayunlocks access to our investments, community, and resources — ideal for investors starting their journey. Think of this as the logical entry point into Altea. In addition to unlocking all paywalled content, you now get access to all Altea investments, perks, and private spaces within the community. This is perfect for investors who want essential access to Altea (and don't mind paying reasonable management fees). What you get Access to all Altea SPVs 2% management fee, 20% carried interest on SPVs Access to all private community spaces Access to member perks and partner discounts Join one free local meetup per year Unlimited access to all content (no paywalls) Restrictions Cannot invest in oversubscribed deals (waitlisted if full) Not eligible for investor trips Price $500/year (Try it for one month for $99)Altea investments are for members only. Among other benefits, Altea Gateway gives you access to these deals. (You still must be accredited to invest in most deals. Learn more.) |
You may notice this option is very similar to the All-Access Pass — and you're right. The All-Access Pass is going away, and is being folded into Altea Gateway. Effective immediately, everyone with an All-Access Pass now has Altea Gateway — no action required. If you were on the fence about joining Altea, start with Gateway. You won't be able to join investor trips, but this will let you invest in deals. Try it for one month for $99. Altea Base What is Altea Base? Altea Baseis for serious investors ready to go deeper. It offers lower fees, priority access, and full event participation. This is the standard Altea membership. You get reduced fees on investments, ensuring membership easily pays for itself after just a few investments. What you get Everything in Gateway, plus: 1% management fee, 20% carried interest on SPVs Priority allocation in all deals Unlimited access to local meetups Eligible to join investor trips (pay-per-trip) Price $2,500/year (Try it for one month for $99)Existing Altea members will be grandfathered in. Your existing prices & investment terms will remain the same Join Base if you know you're going to invest in at least a few deals each year, and want to join our investor trips. Just like with Gateway, try it for one month for $99. Altea Black What is Altea Black? Altea Blackis for high net worth investors seeking more. It has no SPV fees, lowered carry, guaranteed allocations, free trips, and exclusive perks across the Altea network. This is Altea's most valuable tier. There are no management fees on investments, reduced carry, and all sorts of other VIP benefits. What you get Everything in Base, plus: 0% management fee, 15% carried interest on SPVs Guaranteed allocation in all deals One free investor trip per year (Altea covers the cost) One free Alts.co sponsorship per year VIP access at Altea events Price $10,000/yearJoin Black if you're planning on investing in multiple deals, want massive fee savings, free investor trips, free sponsorships, and red carpet treatment all year long. 🎰 Las Vegas Altea Trip — March '26 After the success of this week's local events, we're planning a big meetup in Las Vegas in March 2026.

We’re just getting started. If you’re not a member yet, there’s never been a better time to jump in. Start small with Gateway, dive deeper with Base, or go all-in with Black. Whichever path you choose, we can't wait to build the future of alternative investing with you. 🥂 That's it for today! Come find me in the Community.
