For new investors, joining a syndicate is a good way to begin angel investing without having to go it alone.
Experienced angel investors can participate in Syndicates to increase their dealflow and gain access to later stage deals where minimum check sizes may otherwise be outside their range.
Members have access to deals that have been thoroughly diligenced by our team and can participate in private deals they may not otherwise have access to.
It works like this:
Syndicate members get to decide what deals (if any) they want to participate in. We share our diligence documents and arrange for investors to meet the leadership teams before making their decision to invest.
Grow Forward manages all aspects of creating a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) (which holds the capital), making the investment, and paying out returns to investors. Grow Forward sends tax documents and information to SPV participants.
Deals that are brought to the syndicate have been thoroughly vetted by the investment team and our advisors to deeply understand the business model, the operations, scalability and impact. This often includes many due diligence meetings with management and on-site visits to see and understand the business operations.
Because we invest from an evergreen investment pool, we are patient with deal flow and instead focus on finding the best investment opportunities at the right valuation.
But there are risks.
It’s important to remember that early stage investing is very risky and we urge everyone in the syndicate to remember that they should not be investing money they are not prepared to lose.
