Why Venture Capital

The Power of Alternative Investments: Venture Capital's Edge

Venture capital (VC) has consistently outperformed other asset classes over recent decades, standing out even among alternative investments. Consider these facts:

  • From 2005 to 2018, VC funds delivered an impressive 22% average annual internal rate of return (IRR)
  • This surpasses the 16.6% average IRR of other private equity (PE) funds
  • VC offers potential for outsized returns, but also comes with wider return dispersion

The Accessibility Challenge

Despite its potential, VC has remained largely inaccessible to most accredited investors due to:

  1. High entry barriers set by traditional VC firms 
  2. Limited access to tier 1 deal flow for individuals
  3. Existing co-investment platforms: • Charge excessive fees • Face adverse selection • May rely on investment bankers for deals, leading to further adverse selection • Lack authentic VC expertise in their leadership  • Lack access to the best VC opportunities

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DealSheet?

DealSheet is a paid weekly newsletter that delivers the best (and actively investable) startup investment opportunities directly to your inbox. These deals are being syndicated by many of the best and most active syndicate leads that we’ve worked with over the years. DealSheet provides unique access & discounted carry (10% carry versus standard 20%) to all DealSheet Premium members.

How often will subscribers receive the DealSheet email?

DealSheet subscribers will receive a DealSheet email one time per week. Each email will contain an estimated 2-4 new deals from our partner syndicates, though more or less deals are possible.  

How much is DealSheet and how long does a membership last for?

DealSheet is an annual membership. Members pay a one-time annual fee of $3,500 at the point of sign-up. The membership then lasts 1 year. At the end of 1 year, members can either renew their annual membership to continue to receive access or decline renewing membership in which case you will no longer receive DealSheet emails.

Can I cancel my membership at any point?

The $3,500 membership fee is not refundable. However, users can cancel their membership at any time throughout their membership. If a user cancels their membership, they will still receive their membership benefits for the remainder of their membership period, but will not receive their $3,500 annual membership fee back.

Why are Zach & Alex uniquely qualified to start DealSheet?

Alex & Zachary are global VC Syndicate leaders, who have closed over 700 SPV’s and deployed over $200m into startups. In the last 12 months alone, Zach & Alex have closed over 155 VC SPVs. Over the past 5 years, we have co-syndicated deals with over 40 syndicate leads who have collectively put together well over 1,000 SPVs, and during this process have built unparalleled syndicate relationships and deal flow channels that we can now.

How should I think about the benefits of joining DealSheet?

DealSheet subscriber benefits:

  • Get the top curated startup investment opportunities sent directly to their inbox on a weekly basis
  • All deals will only charge 10% carried interest (a 50% discount to the standard 20% carry)
  • Exposure to some of the best, exclusive startup investments
  • Exposure to some of the best Syndicate leads
Why do we believe this service is so valuable?

Access: Getting into the next Uber has the ability to offer life changing sums of money. It’s estimated that $1k invested into Uber’s Seed round was worth as much as $4M if held until IPO. Our goal is that subscribers will get high level quality opportunities delivered to their inbox weekly.

Carry Savings: LPs are expected to save enormous amounts of capital on their winners that will hopefully pay for DealSheet itself many times over. As an example: if you invest $5,000 into a deal that returns 20x, LPs save $9.5k just by getting reduced carry of 10% (e.g. LPs would pay $19k in carried on 20% carry, but only $9.5k carry on 10% carried interest or a $9.5k savings in this scenario). If you invest $5,000 into a deal that returns 100x, that’s $49.5k in carried interest savings for LPs via DealSheet’s reduced carry.

Can I share DealSheet with other people?

The contents of DealSheet are strictly confidential and may include proprietary or otherwise sensitive information. Subscribers shall not share the contents with non-subscribers or use for any purpose other than evaluating the presented investment opportunities per intended use. All subscribers will be required to sign NDAs.  

Do I need to be an accredited investor to participate in DealSheet deals?

Yes all investors must be accredited as required by the SEC.

Will DealSheet subscribers receive reduced carry on all of Calm Ventures & Riverside Ventures deals?

No, DealSheet subscribers will only receive reduced carry on DealSheet deals, not all Riverside & Calm Ventures deals. However if a Calm or Riverside deal happens to be on DealSheet then DealSheet subscribers will receive reduced carry on that deal.
