You should join every single syndicate that you possibly can.
And NOT invest in any of their deals.
This probably sounds really weird.
Coming from me:
Trust me.
You’ll come out ahead.
Even if you NEVER deploy capital through them.
Here’s why.
Think about it.
Imagine you’ve joined 10 syndicates.
And let’s pretend each syndicate only makes 2 investments a year.
That means over the course of a year:
You’d get 20 deal memos.
What would you learn if you read 20 deal memos over the course of the year?
You might learn a thing or two.
- About picking startups
- About how to pitch startups to investors
- About how to launch your own syndicate one day
- About what’s actually happening — in real time — in the VC market
Because as much as we all love Google and ChatGPT and the socials:
Some of the best education is locked behind closed doors.
Except in this case?
The door’s actually pretty easy to crack open.
Because most syndicates will let you see all their deals:
So long as you meet the Accredited Investor definition.
Now, I don’t care if you join MY syndicates.
Just make sure you join a whole bunch of them.
It’s a great way to get an edge.
As an investor, or someone who wants to become one — one day.
