In turn, some funds have a more friendly posture towards us and try to structure deals that incentive syndicate investors in a way that doesn’t massively disadvantage the seed investors. We help surface seed companies to them and typically don’t compete against them for new rounds or for follow-on dollars.
Another area where I''m not sure I stand is with some of the more formal referral and syndication programs that are emerging now. Funders Club ( which I''ve written about previously ) recently launched a referral program where angels can receive 10% of the carriedinterest in a deal they refer that ultimately gets investment from an FC fund.
