We are a syndicate of >1,100 accredited investors who invest in venture backed companies
We aggregate demand from our members and then approach founders to secure allocations.
We will either approach the founder or the founder can request a referral from an existing Alliance member. We do not offer a way for founders to directly submit deals to the Alliance
