#THE SYNDICATE PROJECT PHONE NUMBER UPDATE#
Some syndicates still keep in touch with the startups they invested in a year or two ago, so you get an update on how they're doing.

You will see a lot of business deals, and you will start learning what a great opportunity looks like (versus a riskier), what a complete team should look like, how much traction is an indicator of product / market suitability, etc. The syndicate is a great opportunity to establish contacts with other successful investors who have a passion for investing, and you can learn from their experience. This helps to invest as easily as possible. These "smaller investors" don't have to worry about their investments at all, because Lead investors have proven results and are accredited in exactly this type of process. Lower riskĪnother benefit that syndicates bring is, in addition to mitigating risks, is peace of mind. DEPO Ventures help create the syndicate procedurally and legally, thus simplifying your life and saving you time. It is also beneficial for startups because it simplifies their financing process.

The syndicate simplifies the financing process, so you can spend less time on administration. If you syndicate, you can easily invest 10K in 10i startups, which is a sufficiently diversified portfolio to spread your risk and have a better chance that you will not lose money. If you invest individually, the money would cover your investment in 2-3 startups, because startups require a minimum investment amount (Every startup has it differently, some may want 20K, some 50K, and some 100K - depending on the size of the investment round, ie how much money the startup requires). let's say you're a start-up investor and you have € 100,000 at your disposal. Syndication allows you to create a diversified portfolio of investments. In addition, he has a strong negotiating position in determining the terms with the founder. He invests the highest amount and is committed to do Due Diligence. It is necessary to realize that the syndicate is capable of a minority investor, so it is not possible to close the investment round without the so-called Lead Investor. We do this within DEPO Syndicate and offer our investors complete syndication, including startup management and reporting for 5 years. Someone must take care of the syndicate legally and procedurally. This method is well-established in the world, but it is not yet widely practiced in the Czech Republic, partly because of the Czech legislation. What is a syndicate in terms of startup investing?Ī syndicate is a temporary alliance of people that joins together to manage a large transaction, which would be difficult, or impossible. The so-called SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) is composed of private investors or funds that invest in one startup under one entity.
