The absolute #1 method to create HYPE with investors 🔥🔥🔥 👀 After working 1-1 with SO MANY Founders from early-stage to Series B. There's ONE common trait which creates the biggest excitement amongst investors... And that is... There's already big names joining the round / have previously invested ✅ This immediately creates Credibility, FOMO (fear of missing out), and that there's Movement in the Round (whereas most opportunities are stagnated for a while)!!!! The best strategy is to hustle quickly to get strong investor names associated with you (VC and highly credible Angels), and then leverage that to get lots of other investors interested 🚀 .... We get Founders back-to-back VC deal-flow, Pre-Seed to Series B https://www.easyintro.vc/

Starting the angel investing journey can be challenging for individuals due to the often substantial ticket sizes involved 💰 Syndicates present an excellent entry point, allowing investors to start with smaller commitments while benefiting from the guidance and expertise of seasoned investors. It's a smart strategy for those looking to ease into the world of angel investing and gain valuable insights along the way. Join Connectd next week, alongside Blue Lake VC & Newton Venture Program, to unpack the collective strength of investing via an angel syndicate. David Gilgur will also be sharing a general market overview. Ticket link in the comments below. #AngelInvesting #Syndicates #InvestmentStrategies

One of the things that truly differentiates the best seed investors from the rest, is the ability to work hard for the founders you back. Supporting founders in real company-building is a scarce quality amongst venture investors.
