Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Albert Dahan, Owner and Curator
Albert is currently seizing the wine market with a totally unique brand of off-dry wines from France, crafted from an old family recipe. Maison Marcel was the #1 selling rosé at the Rosé Mansion two years in a row and featured on Oprah Magazine as Oprah's favorite rosé of 2020!
Before Maison Marcel, Albert caught the entrepreneurial bug with his first company, American College USA. The brand skyrocketed from its first day of launch thanks to its revamp of the classic but bulky varsity jacket geared towards a more fashionable crowd. The brand was featured in every major fashion and lifestyle magazine in Europe, and Bradley Cooper even accepted an MTV Movie Award in his favorite American College bomber.
In his deeper past, Albert signed to the #1 crowdfunding record label in Europe and co-wrote and co-produced Chasing the Dream, a hit album under the stage name Alex Kassel. He has a lifelong passion for music and composition, having studied at Berklee College of Music and driven production for a number of commercial music projects.

Valuation
Security Description
Secured debt is debt backed or secured by collateral to reduce the risk associated with lending. If the borrower on a loan defaults on repayment, the debt holder can seize the collateral, sell it, and use the proceeds to pay back the debt. Assets backing debt or a debt instrument are considered as a form of security, which is why unsecured debt is considered a riskier investment than secured debt.
