## Key facts

- Type: Investment syndicate (angel / venture capital co-investment group)
- Members: Family offices (LPs), fund managers (GPs), UHNW individuals, angel investors and exited founders
- Sectors: Healthcare, Fintech, Deeptech (opportunistic); B2B models with AI enhancements
- Stage: Primarily Series A and Series B; selectively pre-seed and pre-IPO. A lead investor is preferred, but WSS is open to earlier conversations
- Founders backed: 2nd-time founders, two-founder teams, and founders from diverse or minority backgrounds
- Deal size: Typically $250k–$4m per deal
- Minimum investor check: Generally $5k–$10k per investor, depending on deal stage and demand
- Fees: Charged only on successful deal execution and participation — a one-off fee or a small management fee and/or carried interest at exit
- Syndicate leads invest 1–10% of each deal allocation themselves
- Track record: 30+ executed deals from early stage to pre-IPO

## Evaluation process (deal funnel)

1. Warmly referred deals — ~600 per year, all via warm referrals from founders, operators and co-investors
2. Second call — ~25% advance
3. Month-long due diligence — ~10% of the initial 600 (financials, references, personal fit, added-value metrics)
4. Funded — ~2% of initial deal flow, $250k–$4m per deal

From submission to investment decision typically takes 1–2 months: initial review → due diligence → syndicate discussion → pre-closing → gathering commitments (3–6 weeks) → closing and deployment.

## What founders get

- Capital: flexible, growth-oriented funding
- Strategic connections: introductions to investors (family offices, UHNWs, VCs), partners and peer founders; resources for marketing, sales, tech and software
- Experience: guidance from 30+ executed deals from early stage to pre-IPO
