In July, we invested/wired capital into 6 companies. 5 shown below and another 1 on a different platform. - 3 companies were new investments. - 3 companies were follow-on investments. Riverside Ventures is aiming to stay active this summer despite the typical slow down of  fundraising activity. Deal Sheet has not missed a beat. We will see if August slows down, but so far the syndicate ecosystem is continuing to do deals we are seeing many syndicate leads launch what we view as high quality deals.

Deal Sheet (pricing going up again) – Save Carry + Get Access In Q1, 2024 we launched Deal Sheet, a paid email offering that provides accredited investors: 1) Access to some of the best startup opportunities across the VC syndicate ecosystem (est. 150+ deals on Deal Sheet per year) and 2) All Deal Sheet deals come at discounted carry – all opportunities on Deal Sheet are listed at 10% carry (versus 20% standard) with select opportunities (at our discretion) at 0% carry. Pricing is going up again Thursday August 1st.  To date - Deal Sheet subscribers have received 0% carry opportunities (versus standard 20% carry)  in a large number of highly prolific startups and 10% carry on almost 100 of the most interesting startup opportunities YTD from pre-seed to pre-IPO from across the syndicate ecosystem. We leverage our 4 step Alpha Access process to provide you the best venture capital opportunities: 1) Insider Access → Curating the best investment opportunities from 50+ Venture Capitalists that we’ve built relationships with and co-invested with over the last decade. Tap into a decade of our cultivated relationships including Midas List members, to access the premier startup investment opportunities. 2) 365 Deal Hustle → 24/7 deal-hunting to uncover tier 1 VC co-investment opportunities across all stages and industries, extending beyond our established network. We relentlessly pursue tier 1 deals, ensuring you access many of the best venture capital deals from across the startup ecosystem. 3) The Midas Matrix → Investing alongside the top co-investors is important to syndicate LPs.  We leverage co-investments with Midas List partner funds, and gain early access to deals that have already passed through some of the industry's most discerning filters. 4) Carry Crusher → Deal Sheet members get their carry cut in half. We provide specific links to 10% carry on all deals as opposed to the industry standard 20% carry, providing a 50% discount in carry for all 150+ annual Deal Sheet deals with select opportunities at 0% carry. Get Deal Sheet: https://lnkd.in/eS9xPvHN On Carry Savings:  Invest in just 1 Deal Sheet deal out of the 100-200+/year, and Deal Sheet “could” pay for itself 3x over (example below): - A Deal Sheet customer invests $25k in one deal - The deal 5x’s (net dilution) - Capital Returned = $125,000 - 10% carry paid to GP (instead of 20%) = $10k (instead of $20k) - Savings from being a Deal Sheet customer = $10k - Deal Sheet Annual Fee today (pricing going up Aug 1) = $3.5k  - Savings post Deal Sheet fee = $10k (2.9x ROI) - Savings on a 0% carry Deal Sheet (we’re expecting around 12 of these a year) = $20k (5.7x ROI) And this is just the potential savings for 1 deal. We are offering 100-200+/deals a year with LPs investing as little as $1,000 up to >$5M into our deals. Get Deal Sheet at the $3.5k/year pricing before prices increase.

I’ve had ~3k accredited investors/angels participate in at least 1 Riverside Ventures SPV. It’s not easy to manage, especially when there are no meaningful management fees to build a firm and hire for the present… but I still love it. There are tons of requests and feedback given we’ve done > 315 SPV’s. Managing this many individual LPs is definitely one of the hardest parts of running an active syndicate. You essentially have hundreds, or in my case, thousands of customers without the ability to build out a team. I’ll be the first to admit, there is plenty of room for improvement for me here. But, emails like these truly make my day. As challenging as it may be, there are also so many incredible angels who have invested with us and also been helpful to portfolio companies and/or myself. Growing my network with LPs in our syndicate kind of feels like a cheat code. And I’m equally impressed by what they do or what they’ve built. I frequently send Zachary Ginsburg a text like “Wow, did you just see that (insert name/role) just invested in our (insert portfolio name) deal!”. So despite the many challenges of managing LPs, there are a ton of benefits and great people I’ve been able to meet and add to my network along the way. I got this email this past Saturday. Small things like this truly go a long way for me :) This referral also signed up for our Deal Sheet product! I’m trying to give Mark Cuban a run for his money as I’ve been told by multiple entrepreneurs that he has the fastest response time. -- Powered by Sydecar and Forge, Last Money In Media is the most actionable venture capital newsletter.

We invested in 11 startups in June 😎 9 shown below and another 2 on a different platform. This is more than usual, so definitely not the norm on a per month basis. Just a reminder how active VC Syndicates can be in deploying capital and playing a support role in the venture capital ecosystem. Let's see if we can remain active across summer. p.s. I have no trips overseas this summer and I promise you nobody will receive a single out of office email from me :)

Weekend Post: Thrilled to join DealSheet after collaborating on successful opportunities with Alex Pattis and witnessing the value SPVs offer to individual investors. Would recommend to early investors to follow Last Money In Media for further insights or I'd be happy to connect to share my experiences working with their team. Opportunity is plentiful; the key is where you invest. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eDSzgRB4
