Particularly in equity rounds, it can take a long time to put together syndicates. You should be updating them weekly, or at the very least biweekly, with a quick email. Typically after an investor commits to you, a couple of months–and sometimes more–will go by before you actually close their money.

Lots of us woke up this morning to an email from Reed Hastings about Netflix splitting it’s streaming and DVD-by-mail businesses into two separate operations (each w/ it’s own brand).

It was a great product addressing a large market opportunity and was interested in seeing how the AngelList syndicate process worked. Due to confidentiality provisions, I can''t disclose details, but there are many very unhappy participants who invested through the syndicate. Syndicates can either be company led or investor led.

If you just need the money, stick unknown angels in an AngelList Syndicate so they have more limited information rights. And relationships are long term equities. 10x Angels take long emails offline because face-to-face is easier to collaborate, solve problems, etc than a founder<>investors chain letter.

One of my comments was that we would likely see more institutionalization of angel groups and syndication of deals among groups. There needs to be enough equity to go around for founders, early investors, later investors, and employees. Email This BlogThis! My facebook can beat up your facebook. See you next time.

If they don’t like to syndicate, or don’t have a track record of doing it, you will want to consider your options. It’s only human for the entrepreneur to want to retain as much equity as possible and for the investor to want to minimize risk.

Some angel investors join together in syndicates. Just go to their website and send them an email. It costs you a little more equity, but being able to play the two firms off each other (as well as ask one if the other is being out of line) is invaluable. Startups valuations aresupposed to rise over time.
