If they can’t, then we want to know more about the existing investor syndicate, so we’re not the only ones at the table. GM: There are warrants attached to these loans, but it’s a pretty nominal dilution and pretty low cost of capital for an entrepreneur, which is usually part of the appeal. NVV: Is there any dilution?

Coinvestors: Flexible VC terms have not been standardized, which may make the investment harder to syndicate. Lenders sometimes take warrants. Most Flexible VCs lead rounds and often take 100% of the round to mitigate this risk. Expensive, complex, and time-consuming. Easy, except for addressing investor’s residual stake if any.

We are syndication agnostic – happy to invest alone and equally happy to invest with firms we like to work with. We are geographically agnostic – anywhere in the US – about 33% of our investments are in Colorado, about 33% are in California, and the rest are spread around the US.

Our investment size may differ slightly from one company to the next, but it tends to be driven entirely by situation-specific factors (needs of the company, syndicate composition, anticipated reserves, etc) … and not based on our belief. We expect that a half to two-thirds will achieve product/market fit and warrant further investment.

One area I''ve noticed a lot more recently are angel investors and seed stage funds trying to grab a little bit extra, whether it''s warrants for leading the round, advisor shares to go along with the investment, or a common stock stake for just being who they are. The other investor could''ve certainly lobbied to get me an allocation.

If you just need the money, stick unknown angels in an AngelList Syndicate so they have more limited information rights. They’re willing to spend more time than their ownership % might warrant. Avoid these folks. You can reference check angels just like you would VCs or employees. And relationships are long term equities.
