I have no formal finance or investing background, but have been in roles where I worked closely with VC's and startups to assess their relevance to my employer's technology, so I probably have more exposure to the startup ecosystem than many syndicate investors. I've also opted not to join additional syndicates because it's simply too much deal flow. Based on the dozen or so Angel syndicates I've since joined I now see 5+ deals on most days I invest in less than one out of ten. I relied primarily on Jason's diligence and my sense of the prospects for the company and it's market, based on my thirty-ish years of tech experience. When I initially started and was only in Jason's Syndicate there was usually only a deal or two each month. My portfolio shows a 4.6x multiple on my total investments, but Rappi (among others) hasn't been marked up so this multiple is likely > 7x. I also invested about $3K in a seed round for Rappi which is valued around $1M based on their most recent raise. Given the current market and Calm's maturity I would guess that they will have an exit within the next year (which would likely result in payout of my balance), but I have no more visibility to this than anyone else. It has paid out about $70K (net of carry) and the balance of my investment is valued at roughly $1M. One of my first investments was $4K into.

I've now invested about $460K total in nearly 200 deals (typically $1k/deal, occasionally more), plus I'm in some rolling funds with investments of $10K-$15K/year. I've been investing via Jason's syndicate and multiple syndicates for seven+ years. Since the lead will be representing your company to the AngelList community, you want to feel comfortable that he or she will. I understand that both are illiquid (your capital $ is locked up for several years) and that you need to be an accredited investor for both.īut I'd love to hear any success stories of regular angel investors (not the Mark Cuban billionaires) who have used AngelList or something similar to 5-10x their investments.Īlso let me know if I am off on any of the above! Thanks again for your thoughts! A syndicate lead who will be a good representative of your company. Both sound like potentially lucrative ways to 10x your money (granted if you pick the right startup/fund), however has anyone actually done this before? I know there must be some, but I haven't really found any success stories here on Reddit or via online search of people who have had successful exits or profits from AngelList (after-the-fact, years later).įrom my understanding 1) syndicates allow you to invest in single startups and 2) rolling funds allow you to buy into specific funds (that invest in startups, etc.) by committing new $ each quarter/month.
My friend told me about AngelList syndicates and rolling funds, and I've got to say, I am intrigued. NowRx, DSTLD) and also have a few investments in some of the startups I worked for in the past (e.g.
I dipped my toes with some investments into several startups on SeedInvest (e.g. Hey everyone, I am fairly new to angel investing.
