Angel Investors
An Untapped Goldmine
Alumni networks grant access to impressive startups seeking funds - yet this deal flow remains untapped. Founders approach other sources first, missing the chance to align visions with their institute's brightest minds.
Vetting for Mutual Success
Startups view alumni capital as a last option, leaning on established platforms instead. But overlooked alumni deals may boast impressive potential. Assuring quality upfront could unlock patient, strategic institute backing.
Racing Against the Clock
Even keen alumni struggle to thoroughly vet and validate deal opportunities within compressed fundraising timelines. Yet inadequate diligence repeatedly leads investors to back ventures poorly positioned for their capital.
The Rare Bright Spot
Just 1 in 10 alumni deals originates from the investor-side. Deals succeeding in raising an alumni syndicate rely on a well-connected founder pushing their network together. But this rare occurrence leaves abundant reciprocal value untapped.
