Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • April 2026 Humano Tequila investment adds another top-30 fastest-growing tequila brand.
  • March 2026 reporting showed 12% industry representation gains and $428 million impact.
  • Pronghorn expanded beyond spirits with Mocktail Club and Eventnoire, widening distribution and recruiting leverage.

What critics are saying

  • Pronghorn depends on Diageo; August 2026 North America priorities threaten its funding pipeline.
  • Alcohol brands face brutal execution risk; one underperforming portfolio rollup destroys sponsor trust by 2027.
  • If Diageo exits, Pronghorn loses its existential sponsor and capital engine immediately.

What makes Pronghorn unique

  • Pronghorn launched in 2022 with a $200 million Diageo North America commitment.
  • It combines capital, incubation, recruiting, and distribution for diverse spirits founders.
  • By March 2026, Pronghorn reported 40-plus investments and 542 careers accelerated.

Pronghorn expands Tequila portfolio with Humano investment.

Pronghorn expands Tequila portfolio with Humano investment. 10 April 2026 By Nicola Carruthers Diageo-backed drinks accelerator Pronghorn has invested in Humano Tequila, which is said to be one of the category's fastest-growing brands in the US. Pronghorn, which is based in the US and primarily funded by Diageo North America, invests in spirits brands from diverse founders and entrepreneurs. The business has now invested in another Tequila brand, Humano, joining the likes of Anteel Tequila, Ego Tequila, Los Hermanos, T Capri and Tequila With Friends in Pronghorn's portfolio. Additive-free brand Humano aims to 'celebrate the human side' of Tequila production, alongside supporting its commitment to the land. According to Nielsen data cited by Pronghorn, Humano is one of the top 30 fastest-growing Tequila brands by absolute revenue growth in the US. "Humano Tequila has shown incredible velocity," said Pronghorn president Ron Cole. "By partnering with Humano Tequila, we are fuelling a brand that is not only culturally rooted but commercially explosive. "Our investment portfolio is demonstrating that equity and excellence are a powerful combination, delivering results, and Humano Tequila is another great brand with a great leadership team." The Humano range includes blanco, añejo, reposado and joven expressions. CEO Luis Abundis, former vice-president of sales at Texan whiskey brand Still Austin, and Anahí Rivera, ex-national director of Tequila 1921, founded and lead Humano. The brand is also supported by fellow co-founders and spirits industry executives John Beaudette (founder and former CEO of distributor MHW), Craig Kodish, and Michael Cooper. The trio work together at Beaudette Beverage Group, which operates a distribution arm called Palladium Brands. As part of its commitment to supporting those making the product, Humano Tequila shares a portion of its sales directly with its farmers and their families. Abundis added: "From the farm to the glass, our goal has always been to create real Tequila made by real humans. This strategic partnership allows us to amplify our meticulous craftsmanship and continue our trajectory as one of the industry's most exciting growth stories." In addition, Pronghorn is working to grow Humano's team to support the brand's expansion into new markets. Last March, Pronghorn invested in New York-based Doce Mezcal, marking its first foray into the category.
