- When I say “Saving the world from bad tequila one
bottle at a time” I mean it. Our goal is to impact change. Making the
world a better place through tequila is a thing. Agave Sun International
has a "Giving Pledge" to help communities in the USA and Mexico. We are a Green
and Sustainable company.
- We are poised to enter all 50 states! But only with
your help.
- You are changing lives here, and for the better.
Helping this campaign means you are helping people in two different
countries all along the supply chain. Our goal is to become something that
years later you know you personally had a hand in making it great.
- As a contributor you are helping us build a long term
company. And that means everything to us. Our gratitude would be through
the roof!
- And here is a secret, we are going to pick a few of the
$20.00 contributors and surprise them with a huge show of thanks! You may want to make sure your passport is current...
What We Need
![]()
- Transparent facts. Our funding will be immediately
applied to state level licenses, fees, and associated costs. Our estimate
to secure licenses for the entire USA will run at $250,000.00 alone. We
can begin operations before that amount, but this would open the door to
the entire country. Securing those licenses is vital to our long term
viability.
- Transparent facts. We need office space. And not just
any office will do. This will be our headquarters for the entire nation.
And you will open the doors with your contributions.
- Transparent facts. Everything built here has been a
result of lean startup principles and a lot of dedicated team players.
The collaboration of that team is what makes Agave Sun International
special. And as the founder, I have the utmost respect and debt of
gratitude of the team players who helped get us here today.
If we miss the mark?
![]()
- Any funds received will be applied to our securing of
state level licenses. No two states are alike, so this requires a lot of
attention. Why? Because these state level licenses are the final keys we
need to officially open the doors. We need a minimum of $7,500.00 to start
the process
- Knowing we have to reach $250,000.00 alone to secure
all 50 state licenses we are simply asking you to pull the string back and
watch us fly.

The Impact
![]()
- You are impacting lives here. Your contribution grows exponentially.
Each one of you who take part are touching people’s lives in two countries. You literally can know you have eventually
impacted thousands of people with your contribution here.
- For me the saying “Saving the world” and we can get
there “one bottle at a time” is a central part of our mindset here at
Agave Sun International. Hitting campaign goals here set us on a path of
key acquisitions. And this includes hiring a team. From there we can begin
impacting the world in ways that make it better. Once we hit positive cash
flow Agave Sun is going to help build in our community to make it stronger,
and make positive impacts to last generations into the future. But to get
there I need you.
- Each stage has been checked, each required move on the chessboard is
measured. The only hurdle we have left is the state level licenses.
- By participating in this campaign you are one of those hands
up. Even if you only leverage a single dollar, you are moving us up and a
little closer to getting over the hurdle.
- This has been developed to be a sustainable business. From local community service projects to larger scale ones
later, our goal is to leave our world better than we found it.
Risks & Challenges
![]()
- Currently our risk is Barrier to Entry. It is our
estimated cost that it will take $250,000.00 to secure all of our licenses
in the United States. But, we have a mitigation plan where at $7,500.00 we
can set our lawyer loose. At $11,000.00 we can acquire office space. At $21,000.00 our doors to the
office can open. At $42,000.00 all of our internal information technology
needs are met. At $72,000.00 funds are aggressively applied to state
license acquisitions. At $100,000.00 we can actively participate in the
national tradeshows. Our stretch goals would be to hit $250,000.00 as that
opens up most of the doors that are currently closed. Beyond this, we
would be able to look to make some immediate positions available as those
funds would be used to fill key roles in this company.
- Our plan is simple. Key acquired licenses are assets as
they are the only legal barrier to cash flow. After that we are able to
begin sales to Wholesale Distributors, Buying Agents, and Procurement
Officers. Revenues will be aggressively reinvested into the company to
secure its positioning. Phased growth and acquisition plans allow us to
grow quickly in response to our demands on a departmental basis.

FAQ's
What is a voucher?
Since Indiegogo and us cannot directly sell to you our tequila, we are offering vouchers. This voucher can be traded for the tequila. We have a few retailers who will be shipping where legal. If we cannot ship directly to you, we will work out an agreement in your area with a liquor store so you can pick this up close to home.
Must be 21 at time of purchase.
I cannot be any clearer. You must be 21 at the time of purchase. Be patient. We will still be here waiting for you!
Shipping costs
Shipping costs are calculated from UPS and we selected a price where we know we can get this to you. Chances are it will be a little less.
Wholesale Distributors Only?
Yup, for the pallet at those prices you MUST be a Wholesale Distributor with current and active licenses.
DAP shipping?
DAP is Delivered At Place. This means we are shipping directly from the dock in Mexico to the dock at your warehouse. The DAP price shown in shipping is an estimate. Contact us for more details.
