Overview
The Syndicate Fund is an angel investing club that focuses on funding early-stage startups across various sectors.

It also provides a platform for founders to submit their startups for review and, if selected, gain access to a network of investors. The Syndicate Fund is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Syndicate Fund focuses on pre-Series A startups led by dynamic founding teams tackling large problems with big markets. Its investment focus includes areas where its members have experience and can add value, including e-commerce/marketplaces, AI/automation/robotics, fintech/blockchain, B2B SaaS, AdTech/MarTech, IoT (only with SaaS model), and network effects businesses. The Syndicate Fund targets startups in a wide range of geographies, with preferred locations in North America and Europe, but does not limit its investments when the right team and product and market collide.
