Many syndicates are free to join and the best give you access to incredible dealflow. As a member, you have the right (not the obligation) to invest in any deal that’s offered by the syndicate’s lead investor.
Most of the deals you fund have already been funded by someone else, so you're most likely going to see a deal through a seed investor you probably know. No VC has a magical stream of only high quality dealflow. Plus, direct screening can be useful to a VC's future dealflow.
Are investors allowed to come into deals that the fund does side by side with the fund? This creates a source of dealflow for investors who aren’t out there full time creating opportunities. One way to measure that is to imagine the theoretical $500-$1mm angel round that a founder is looking to raise.
AngelInvestors. AngelInvestors maintain substantial dealflow. Angel Syndicates are, bar none, one of the most effective ways to benefit from aggregated dealflow. When you join a syndicate, you get the opportunity to see everything the AngelInvestor sees by reading their Deal Memo.
If you look at the landscape of early-stage investors, there are really only two types: On one side, you have the hobbyist angelinvestor. Their network, dealflow and ability to evaluate companies is limited by the number of hours they have after all their other professional obligations are met.

Across the 52 angel investments that I made prior to starting SuperAngel.Fund , my average check size was $13k and median check size was $10k. since 2019.
Inbound Platforms Inbound platforms specialize in helping firms source deals from a variety of sources, including venture capital firms, angelinvestors, and other private equity funds. Ideally, the platform will offer a diverse set of investment opportunities across different sectors, geographies, and deal sizes.
I recently passed the two-year mark since becoming a full-time “professional” angelinvestor, and I wanted to celebrate this anniversary by sharing more details with you about how I got here. Happy Friday! To get it off the ground we needed outside capital, so I pitched everyone I knew or who was willing to listen.
Vetting dealflow is part of the job. He could have offered to vouch for her to the angelinvestors, and told them how that wasn't really a market deal--and encouraged them to offer something more in line with the market. Your network never signed up to do your outsourced job for you. Makes my skin crawl.
RITHOLTZ: So your Social Leverage is dealflow connections, access to start founders, access to capital… LINDZON: Low capital requirements. And so, as I said, to keep that Social Leverage going, I feel the most important part of being an angelinvestor. You and me doing this podcast, me starting my own podcast.
