ACA recently hosted a Webinar with AngelList co-founder Naval Ravikant to help members learn more about the AngelList syndicates platform. During the hour-long webinar Ravikant explained how AngelList syndicates work and how they enable entrepreneurs and angel groups to attract more investors to fill out funding rounds. Here is a quick summary of some of the details
Ravikant shared during the wide-ranging Webinar:
A: Although any entrepreneur can post a deal to AngelList and try to attract investors, the syndicates platform requires a lead investor. The lead investor can be an individual angel, angel group, or seed fund that sets the terms, commits initial funding to the round, and provides an investor’s perspective on the candidate company. The syndicates platform is simply a vehicle to attract other investors to the deal. Tags: Syndication Thursday, February 06, 2014
