Question 1

I'm intrigued by the growth and interest in African sourced spirits, but my concern is the terms of the investment. You're offering an uncapped SAFE (often an automatic no for early investors), but the investment concept is to get in early before the 2025/26 Series A priced ro...

Hi Jason, Hope you are well, Thank you for reaching out. Our ambition/goal is to close a series A within 18 months and we have started conversations with potential series A investors. This was part of the reason we did not include a valuation cap. Our current plan is to close a Series A with a $4m investment at a $18m post money valuation. We also know that Africa is becoming a strategic focus for big Alc Bev companies, and we know that the big companies typically grow via acquistion. We beli...

In general, SAFE investments see a return on investment when a liquidity event occurs, such as: Equity conversion at a priced round. ROI is realised if the shares appreciate in value and can be sold at a later date. Company acquisition (M&A) If the company is acquired t...

Question 4

As far as sourcing goes (for the African grown ingredients). Geographically speaking, which countries are involved with providing the agriculture? I see it's distilled in South Africa.

Accepted Answer

Hi Kyle, great question. Whilst we distill in South Africa, Spearhead is a Pan African business, sourcing ingredients for our brands from across the continent. For example our gin sources botanicals from 6 different African countries, from Baobab fruit from Ghana, course salt from Botswana, juniper from Kenya and many more. On the other hand our agave brand sources wild agave from South Africa’s Karoo desert and the Eastern Cape, we have also experimented with agave from further afield. As an...

Hi Gregory, great questions, thank you. Our ambition is to grow Spearhead into a business that has the opportunity for a capital event, in which investors are able to realise their investment. Although we are very bullish on the future of Spearhead Spirits.
