I loved the energy, the dynamics, and the people. It's a fun business that makes a lot of money...What's not to like?When I was working with OTHER rum company, I met *********.He was consulting the company I worked for on some technical issues, while I was Brand Marketing Manager for a top globally recognized rum brand. ********** was a very important person in the rum business, and I was assigned the responsibility of coordinating his activities during his visit. We got to spend a lot of time together and we \"clicked\" immediately. After ******** met with the Rums of Puerto Rico Director, he understood \"Rum Cover-Over\".\"Rum Cover Over\" is a unique Federal Law that gives back a percentage of the Federal Excise Tax to Puerto Rico rum producers. Between and other manufacturing \u0026amp; tax incentives Puerto Rico is the most profitable place to manufacture rum in the world. That is the reason Bacardi, the #1 rum brand in the world is established in Puerto Rico.********* told me he had always dreamt of having his own rum brand, and we agreed to do it in Puerto Rico as partners.After a couple of meetings with investors we immediately realized we needed a Distillery if we wanted to get ARTESANO off the ground....that's how I met ******* *******.We met in a restaurant for lunch, both with our computers. I presented ARTESANO to ****, he presented his distillery and brand portfolio to me. ARTESANO needed a Distillery, and the Distillery needed a Sales \u0026amp; Marketing person. In that very meeting, we understood we could help each other.We got started on fine-tuning our plan, discussing go to market strategies, efficiencies, best business models and now...we come to you to help us get the fuel to make ARTESANO really happen. The funding we need is to purchase raw and packaging materials to raise finished product inventories. We need to fund our sales \u0026amp; marketing efforts to make ARTESANO an international brand early in it's existence. Since May 2024 Artesano is not related in any way to their former distillery.\"Como empresa puertorriqueña con muchos años de experiencia en la industria, nos enorgullece representar como distribuidora un producto artesanal, hecho en Puerto Rico.

Sourcing of locally produced molasses is an important consideration, but will depend on availability and reasonable costs. The \"Early Bird\" terms we offer present a $750k valuation, but after we achieve the $80k the valuation goes up to $2,000,000. With regards to the new letter of intents, we will present our finished products to those distributors by end of 2020 or start of 2021. If you are visiting Puerto Rico in December, I suggest you reserve your bottles and you can pick them up personally in La Destileria in Jayuya, where you can take a short tour and speak with the team. Our first bottles come out by mid December the latest. Yes, we have worked on how to go about the local market considering COVID and are working on deals to go direct to consumer as much as we can, but eventually bars \u0026amp; restaurants will open again, and we will be ready for that. COVID just slows everything down a bit. We will not change our name for the US market.

In regards to distributors, we are currently contacting all of them, and in the case of Puerto Rico, there will be a different distributor not because lack of interest, but due to the fact that our brand may cause a conflict of interest with a brand they currently distribute.We understand COVID has truly affected the bar \u0026amp; rest. and it may slow down our sales projections, yet COVID will not last forever, and this is not a sprint, but a marathon.We are currently working with smaller direct to consumer distribution companies in Puerto Rico to be effective in our outreach like Club UVA, UVVA app, RonPon, Brands of Puerto Rico amongst others,\u0026nbsp;and we will be doing the exact same thing in other markets. Also, this very opportunity for crowdfunding is being shared primarily with industry stakeholders like bartenders and business owners so they can both be aware of the brand, and they get part of the action, so it lowers our entry to market barriers.I hope this answers your questions.

Your project is exciting, especially for a rum lover like me! I'd like to participate in the project but I have a lot of questions - sorry in advance for the long message: - It takes years to produce good rum. You mention that in the short-term, you will buy raw material from Central America, but in the long term you want to use \"your own\" distilled aguardiente. What do you mean by your own? - You have pretty aggressive sales growth targets - could you share the underlying volume you expect to sell, and break it down by geography and distribution channels? - What's your market positioning? Rum for cocktails or premium, aged rum? How do you intend to price the product(s)? - How come your financials show 0 everywhere? Do you have absolutely no activity as of yet, no capital expenditure, no material, no expenses for using/testing the distillery? Didn't you raise USD 55K in a previous round? Shouldn't that be reflected in your financials? - How much did the founders invest so far? - CROSS DISTILLERY, CORP own 40% of the voting rights; who is behind this shareholder? - What's the distillery's production capacity? - What's your distillery usage arrangement, i.e. do you pay a rate dependent on actual volume produced or is it a flat rate? What will that cost be for the next 2-3 few years? - Do you have raw material cost forecasts, based on quotes from potential suppliers? - An Artesano brand already exists. Did you register your brand name? Do you know where their brand name is registered? This could hamper your development in countries where they operate, and poses a legal risk. - I didn't see a clear plan to raise a new round, nor any terms defining what would happen to our SAFE investment if you decide not to raise a new round because the business can continue to grow and become profitable without new capital injection.

It takes years to produce good rum. You mention that in the short-term, you will buy raw material from Central America, but in the long term you want to use \"your own\" distilled aguardiente. ANSWER: We are distilling today and aging but as you may know, it takes several years and blending to get there. Through Javier we are buying aged base to adjust, blend and finish here as we move the aged production fully in-house. Getting the right supplier and quality is key to performance. 2. What do you mean by your own? - You have pretty aggressive sales growth targets - could you share the underlying volume you expect to sell, and break it down by geography and distribution channels? ANSWER: We are projecting aggressive growth because it does not come from just one market, where a more linear growth would be expected. We are planning to step into other big markets like Spain, Germany, Brasil, US and Argentina during our first 5 years. 3. What's your market positioning? Rum for cocktails or premium, aged rum? How do you intend to price the product(s)? ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;The answer is BOTH. Our white rum will be complex enough to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but every label in our portfolio will have a purpose. We are building a premium brand on the shoulders of\u0026nbsp;quality and craft, s our white rum will be priced in the top 10% of white rum brands. Añejo will be just below $40/bottle.\u0026nbsp; 4. How come your financials show 0 everywhere? Do you have absolutely no activity as of yet, no capital expenditure, no material, no expenses for using/testing the distillery? ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;At this time no expenditures or labor costs to stay thin. The activity, test, material costs are absorbed by the distillery and will be invoiced as we move forward and products are delivers. We have transparent cost basis so we manage the effort but it is $0 until invoiced. 5. Didn't you raise USD 55K in a previous round?\u0026nbsp; ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;No, we announced 55 k milestone in the ongoing WeFunder campaign 6. Shouldn't that be reflected in your financials? - N/A 7. How much did the founders invest so far?\u0026nbsp;ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;over 3 years of effort. Destilería is providing access to its capital equipment and expertise, licenses and permits as well as financing initial work pre-raise. CROSS DISTILLERY, CORP own 40% of the voting rights; who is behind this shareholder? - ANSWER: Majority stakeholder in the distillery is Luis J Cruz, COO of Artesano 8. What's the distillery's production capacity? ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;At current level 40k/ cases/yr extendable to 80k. Current load is above 4K which leaves room for Artesano'S growth. 9. What's your distillery usage arrangement, i.e. do you pay a rate dependent on actual volume produced or is it a flat rate? ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;Volume based on a cost plus contract so as economies of scale apply our cost decreases. If our growth is as predicted or slightly less there is a path to purchase the distillery outright. 10. What will that cost be for the next 2-3 few years? - Do you have raw material cost forecasts, based on quotes from potential suppliers? ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;We and the distillery maintain redundant supply chains to maintain best in class pricing on all materials. With that we maintain models and forecasts as part of financial plans 11. An Artesano brand already exists. Did you register your brand name? Do you know where their brand name is registered? This could hamper your development in countries where they operate, and poses a legal risk. ANSWER: We have registered in USPTO, Puerto Rico, and the EUROPEAN UNION. We understand there is enough separation in the brand to not be contested. We are doing the due diligence to ensure no issues arise. 12. I didn't see a clear plan to raise a new round, nor any terms defining what would happen to our SAFE investment if you decide not to raise a new round because the business can continue to grow and become profitable without new capital injection. If I missed those terms, could you point me to them? ANSWER:\u0026nbsp;We will raise more capital. No doubt about that.\u0026nbsp;We want to make sure cash flow does not disrupt business growth. Cash only affects velocity but velocity affects brand momentum and by definition entry to other markets.If any more doubts please write to: jose@ronartesano.com​\u0026nbsp;","author_name":"Jose Muñoz","votes":1,"created_at":"2020-11-28T23:55:58Z"}]},{"id":115859,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:115859","question":"Hola buenos días, me pueden enviar información de cómo funcionara el sistema para los inversionistas?","author_name":"Juan F.
