The problem we're solving

Environmental Degradation: Overharvesting and monoculture practices leading to soil erosion and loss of biodiversity.

Investment Platform: Allow individual and corporate investors to own agave plants managed by Gavé. From seed to global distribution: Premium mezcal using traditional methods, preserving cultural heritage. Community Engagement: Provide economic opportunities in marginalized semi-desertic regions.
