Most angels hit the same ceiling. You find a deal you believe in, and you can only write the check you can personally afford. A syndicate changes that: it gives you capital leverage, better access, deeper diligence, and carried interest.
Eight weeks, so you don't spend 8 months failing.
Building one is the hard part. There's no playbook for it, which is why most people spend months experimenting and give up.
The Only Programme of Its Kind
Syndicate Blueprint is that playbook. It's based entirely on how Jed Ng, founder of AngelSchool.vc, built his syndicate from zero to a 1,500+ LP network organically, and now invests up to €1,000,000 into a single startup.
