Syndicate members can review and invest in opportunities on a deal-by-deal basis. The minimum investment is £5,000 per opportunity, and members can decide how much they want to invest based on their investment strategy.
-
We share new investment opportunities with our members on a regular basis, but very rarely would it be more than 1-2 per month; and we don’t expect to invest in more than 3-4 companies per year. The frequency of new opportunities depends on the number of high-quality deals in our pipeline.

We use Odin as our SPV provider - and for full disclosure, our Syndicate Lead (Angelos) is also an investor in Odin. Odin provides us with all of the infrastructure to make our pooled investments possible. The platform allows us to “wrap up” all of our smaller check investors into one larger investment and we appear on the company’s cap table as a single line item/ investor.
-
We use a United Kingdom Bare Trust Structure for investments handled via Odin (not a limited partnership). This structure is a completely tax transparent structure. The property is held in the name of the Trustee (in this case, the Odin Platform, or more specifically one of the SPV entity), but the trustee has no discretion over the assets held in trust. This means that the Trustee creates a limited company that acts as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and holds the shares (or other assets) in trust on behalf of the investors (the beneficiaries).

Yes. We can handle investments from investors globally, into companies anywhere. We do strongly suggest that you seek your own Tax advise however; whilst we use a Tax transparent investment structure the tax implications on your investments would be led by the legislation you are domiciled in.

Portfolio companies send updates to us and that get distributed to the investors, via email and on the Members’ Area of this Notion Hub. Whilst we advise on monthly updates, some of our portfolio founders are only sending quarterly updates.
