https://angel.co/new-stack-ventures/syndicate (Investing with Nick Moran of the Full Ratchet podcast: http://fullratchet.net/) We invest in founders and products that are positioned to fundamentally change existing markets or create new markets. Typical investments are early at the seed or pre-seed stage. Our aim is to connect to and support founders and future founders before any capital has been raised. The process of building and growing startups has changed significantly in the past decade. This new wave of innovation has resulted in companies going from idea to $1B+ companies in a matter of years. The way that companies are funded must also evolve with the demands required by modern entrepreneurs. New Stack Ventures was founded on the principle that both the "Startup Stack" and the "Funding Stack" has and will continue to evolve. The barriers to attain funding are coming down and we plan to build a community that can leverage this opportunity to create maximum value for entrepreneurs and investors.
