Frequently Asked Questions

We’re a 1300+ global angel investor community. We share highly-vetted deals and our diligence with our investor network for free.

We also run venture programs: 

Venture Fundamentals: gives emerging Angel Investors essential venture skills and deal experience in just 10 hours.

Syndicate Blueprint: helps experienced Angel Investors build angel network & lead Syndicate deals. This is an 8 week x 2.5 hr cohort based program.

1. Quality dealflow: We’re highly selective. Our investment teams screen 100s of companies and invests in ~6 deal per year.

2. Complete diligence: Every company is heavily diligenced. Investors get access to full datarooms which includes an independent investment memo.

3. 100% Control: Just like being an angel investor, you decide which which companies to invest in.

No, there are no costs to receive deal flow or to be part of the AngelSchool.vc network. There are also no requirements on how many deals or how much capital you need to invest each year.

You can subscribe to our dealflow here.

We stay in touch with our portfolio companies on a monthly basis and share investor updates at least quarterly. We’ll provide extraordinary updates on an ad-hoc basis as needed.

The minimum investment is US$10,000 per deal.

You do not have to be accredited to see dealflow. Investors will need to self-accredit during the investment process.

Here’s our community deck. It contains information about our network, companies we’ve backed, and our investment thesis.

On each syndicate investment, ~5% of committed capital goes towards fees. This is one time and non-recurring.

There is 20% carried interest in the event of an exit.

We have ‘skin in the game’ in all deals in some form. In many cases, we’ve already invested at earlier (and much riskier) stages before they are ready to be syndicated.

We invest in B2B, Software and Technology businesses at seed to series A. We may consider pre-seed companies with a product and which are generating revenue.

We invest across the US, Europe and SE Asia.

We’ll be happy to share more. Reach out to schedule a call.

There’s no such thing as  a typical holding period. We look for companies with the potential to be big and generate meaningful returns in an exit.

A fast growing company can reach $1 BN valuation in 5 years. Our best performing companies have achieved this in 3 years. 

The 2 main exit paths are IPO or M&A. Another is a ‘secondary transaction’ whereby a later stage investor offers to buy out early investors. 

No, syndicates do not have a return hurdle. Unlike funds, syndicates do not charge 2% annual management fees (20% over 10 year fund life).

Syndicates give investors capital leverage and the ability to earn carried interest. It drastically improves your risk/reward.

Writing a larger check also gives you better access and lets you do deeper diligence. This improves your odds of success.

We recommend having sufficient venture investing experience and a large enough professional network to source your initial LPs.

We admit applicants based on their ability to be successful. Here’s what we look for:

1. Venture experience: Invested in at least 3 venture startups.

2. LP Network: Your earliest LPs will come from your professional network. You should be confident to find your first 50 investors there.

3. Commitment: we’ll give you the tools to be successful. You’ll need to put in the work and be committed to the journey.
