Wild Common, a leading creator of agave spirits that honors craftsmanship and fosters a shared reverence for the land, announced it had raised $5 million for its Series A funding round from HIPstr (the early-stage investment arm of HighPost Capital).
Wild Common plans to use the funding to continue scaling its platform and entering new markets, growing its team with best-in-class talent, further enhancing its award-winning agave spirits, and capitalizing on the growth of the broader tequila market.
Launched by Andy Bardon in 2021 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and distilled in the Jalisco Valley, Mexico, Wild Common produces agave spirits honoring tradition, community, and the land with a unique, time-honored process. Wild Common’s agave is grown and harvested by hand from Mexico’s rich volcanic soil, slow-roasted in small batches, carefully distilled by experts, and bottled by hand on site.
Wild Common ranks among the top agave spirits globally in terms of taste and quality. And a portion of Wild Common’s profits are reinvested into the rural communities it works with to help improve quality of life.
KEY QUOTES:
“Wild Common’s mission is to bring people together to share moments – and exceptional tequila. Wild Common started its journey in Jalisco, where I met the Rosales family, whose traditions in the area date back to 1904, and collaborated to seek to create the finest expression of tequila possible. We are excited to partner with HIPstr, whose team has a proven track record of building leading consumer businesses as we enter our next phase of growth.”
- Andy Bardon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Wild Common
“We are thrilled to support Wild Common, which is committed to crafting its world-class agave-based spirits the right way. The tequila and broader agave-based market continue to grow at a strong clip, and I am a firm believer in the business Andy Bardon and his team have built. We look forward to helping Wild Common continue to enhance its lineup of high-quality agave spirits and capitalize on what is a highly attractive market for growth.”
- David Moross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HighPost
