A Personal Message from Peter Castleman.


When you think the words "Great Company", what comes to mind? Apple, Google, perhaps even Microsoft? To me a great company is two things:
1. DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY - that means it disrupts the way that things were done before. It changes them; Faster, Better, Smoother, Broader, Cheaper, Whatever it may be. But it changes the technology or the ways of doing something. DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY - VERY IMPORTANT.
2. A TRANSFORMATION COMPANY - It either Creates a new Industry or Transforms an old one. Pretty simple, right? Those are TWO of the Most Important Characteristics.
We all invest our time and money into something. Why Do you invest? To make lives better, yours and others. Did you invest in Apple, Google or Microsoft when they were privately held Companies? Why Not? You weren't invited?
I am inviting you now to join YEVO InternationalAll I do is build companies.
That's all I've ever done since I was 12 years old when I started my first home improvement business at a summer camp for Kids. I've been blessed to be part of a team that have built 11 Billion Dollar PLUS companies in various industries.
The first Is EON LABS:
I bought Bankrupt assets and 20 years later sold it for 8 Billion Dollars.
Advance PCS:
I bought a $10 Million business and grew it to a $16 Billion business.
The North Face
I bought Bankrupt assets and built it to the Iconic Brand it is today with $3 Billion in Annual Revenues.
STR Holdings
Based on my Harvard Honors Thesis for Solar Energy. Took me 20 years to execute the plan to make it a billion dollar company we sold to the Chinese.
Hawkeye
My best IR deal. I was fortunate enough to turn $15m into a Billion dollars in two years.
Caris Life Sciences
This is mapping the human genome and making personalized medicine, the cutting edge of the future word of western medicine.
Riverstone
This was a massive water-rights deal and almonds which have become incredibly expensive due the water shortage in out west.
Pharmanex and Herbalife - I'll talk about a little later.
I said 11 (companies) - I believe I'll have twelve before I am done, this being the most important thing I am doing for the rest of my life.
I believe it's the biggest Idea that I've ever been involved in.I believe it's arguably one of the biggest ideas of our generation.
