Your invite to our investor circle

Hi there. đź‘‹ 

We’re Arek and Ethan, co-founders of Unicorner.

Whether you’ve been reading us for a week or since our first email in 2020, we hope you’ve enjoyed our weekly covers on the potential unicorns of the future.

After five years of identifying promising early-stage startups and reaching tens of thousands of readers, we’re ready to take it to the next level.

Today, we’re excited to introduce our private investor circle—the Unicorner syndicate. Its purpose: to get to know interested readers and, where appropriate, share future investment opportunities in top startups.

Syndicate? What is that?

A syndicate is a private group of investors who choose to invest or not, deal-by-deal, for all investment opportunities. This allows individual investors to invest smaller amounts in companies that might not want a direct personal investment. It also gives you full control over which companies you invest in (compared to, say, a traditional venture fund).

Joining this syndicate is free and there’s no commitment to invest in any deals. The goal is simply to build a relationship with you before we discuss any specific opportunities.

Oh cool! Who can participate?

Accredited investors. The SEC has several definitions of who qualifies as an accredited investor, but most commonly you meet the income or wealth thresholds set forth in their guidelines. You do not necessarily have to work in tech or venture to qualify.

Because we’re operating under private offering rules, we can’t discuss any specific offerings until after we’ve established a relationship with you and confirmed eligibility.

Is there a minimum to invest? Do you charge any fees?

The minimum investment depends on each deal we send. Typically, we’d expect minimums to average between $2k to $10k.

There’s no fee to join the syndicate and no commitment to invest.

On a per deal level, we ourselves take no management fees. We’ve partnered with Sydecar to organize the investment opportunites; Sydecar takes a fee on each investment that depends on the total check size.

Fair enough. How do I get into the syndicate?

Fill out the investor interest form on our website. 

We’ll review it and follow up one-on-one. After we’ve confirmed eligibility, we may share private materials for future investment opportunities.

Is there a deadline?

No, but the sooner you join, the better. We can’t discuss specific deals until then.

We’re excited to have you join us on this journey. If you have any questions, you can reply to this email. Otherwise, join the syndicate by filling out the form below. 👇️
