Our Founder Story

Hi, I’m Jed, the Founder of AngelSchool.vc. As a Tech Operator, I built the world’s largest API Marketplace with an a16z-backed startup.

I began investing in startups in 2016. Like most angels, I staked my own capital. Despite having never worked in VC, I got my 1st exit in 2018. I also backed 2 seed-stage startups that became Unicorns ($1BN+ valuation).

People started asking “what are you investing in next?”. I began sharing my deals with other investors.

Since 2020, our investor network has grown to 1300+ organically. We’ve scaled our avg. check by 10x and invest up to $1MN into a single startup.

We’ve written the ONLY playbook for building Angel syndicates and we’d love to share it with you.

Syndicate Blueprint helps angel investors build & operate their own syndicates. In over 8 weeks, you’ll get:

01
Proven Methodology: Our Syndicate playbook built on real-world experience and battle-tested at scale.
02
Real Deal Experience: Join my investment committee (IC) upon graduation.
03
Earn Carry: You’re entitled to earn carry on every AngelSchool.vc deal.

More from Jed

Today, I’m backed by a network of investors that’s grown from 0 to 1000+ in 30 months. That network grows entirely on its own. As it scales, so does my ability to invest. Now, I deploy $MNs / year and expect that to double in the next year. I earn 20% carry on every syndicate- no exceptions.

I’ve never worked in PE or IB. I’ve never been a finance professional. I’ve never worked in a VC fund. If I can do it, so can any Angel with the right passion and drive.

There has never been more capital available for startups than today. What the market needs are ‘market makers’. I started Angel School.vc because I believe Angel investors and Syndicates serve that critical function. I want to empower the next generation of Angels to deploy more capital into their own ecosystems through their own syndicates.

Join our next cohort, and I’ll arm you with a Syndicate Blueprint within 8 weeks. We’ll continually invest in your development. You’ll work alongside other Angel School alumni gaining real investing experience, building your track record and even earn carry in the process.
