Aligning the interests of CEOs with VCs

Founders Club members can buy VC positions in specific companies. Contact us to discuss direct secondary transactions.

Some VC's advise The Founders Club nominating entrepreneurs to join, vetting applicants and participating as active members of the Club.

Some VC's have invested their own personal cash buying part of the management company of The Founders Club.

VCs that advise the club see deal flow from the other VCs in our club and the extensive deal flow sourced by FC management, CEO members and cash investors in the club.

VCs advising the club see deal flow distributed across the globe and sectors, which is good news to existing and prospective LPs.

Liquidity provided from The Club enables entrepreneurs to hold out to sell their company at the optimal time aligning entrepreneur and VC interests. Keep entrepreneurs hungry, but not starving or going through a divorce.

Entrepreneurs only diversify a small percentage of their holdings which does not deteriorate any of their drive to succeed with their own company.

The club provides CEOs and founders with a peer group where they can share and discuss problems that cannot otherwise be discussed with their VCs.

The peer group of CEOs and founders provides mentoring that many VCs may not have time to dedicate during busy times.

The Founders Club never touches the cap table, shareholder agreement, articles, etc. We are a silent partner without any political voting rights or corporate governance. The Club does not seek a board seat.

Our legal agreements are structured in a way that does not require consent from VCs or other investors.

Become a Venture Advisor and join our selection committee and increase your personal deal flow and global VC and CEO network.

Work with us informally for deal flow. We talk to CEOs every day and they tell us when their next financing round will happen. We are a highly filtered source of deal flow.

Getting into later stage deals is highly competitive. Investing in B, C, D and E rounds that exit sooner returns your fund quicker, gets you into carry faster and increases your IRR.

Access early stage deal flow from our pre-VC exchange funds. These companies are typically backed by reputable angels or bootstrapped.

We can help find new international investors to invest into your existing portfolio companies. Put our network to work for you without any banking fees.

Our network can bring more buyers to the table increasing the size of exits.
