Finance Syndication Term Sheet 
View from Seed
FEBRUARY 23, 2021
For early stage VC ‘s, Syndication is the process of sharing investments with other potential co-investors. The classic scenario is when a VC has a signed term sheet to lead a round, but has left room open for another meaningful investor. When I started in venture, syndicating deals was fairly common.

In August/September 2009, the founders and I agreed to work together to raise a round of financing for the company. I helped introduce the company to various angels and lead the effort to form a syndicate for their fund-raising round. We pulled together about $600K of commitments and interest, for a $500K-target financing round.

One of the most relevant scenarios that this fear vs. greed lens applies towards is insider-led financings. That story is built brick by brick through subtle cues of amounts of insider participation, who issues a term sheet, structure of the financing, etc. Of course, true motivations cannot be entirely divined.

They either do too many seed investments (for which they can spend no quality time with any) or they treat it as an option (“if you succeed come back and see us and we’ll match any term sheet you get&# ) – they view it as a sort of “right of first refusal.&#. The signaling affect is overrated.
