## Questions

### Who runs investment decisions at SDC Advisory?

Investment decisions trace to the Cortese family, who founded and operated Alfalfa's Markets before its sale. The office does not publicly name a CIO or separate investment committee, which is common for single-family offices where principals retain direct authority over allocations. Day-to-day management is handled internally, without outside advisors or a formal board.

### How does SDC Advisory source proprietary deal flow?

The firm sources primarily through the founders' network in the natural-products industry, a community they helped build during decades operating Alfalfa's Markets. That legacy gives them access to consumer and wellness entrepreneurs who value an investor with actual retail-operating experience, rather than purely financial backing.
