Your exposure to early-stage technology

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Access Fund work?

You invest in the fund, then the fund will invest in a diverse portfolio of startups on AngelList. The fund will return capital to you when an investment has a liquidation event.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
How will the fund select deals?

The fund aims to invest broadly in startups fundraising on AngelList, across multiple sectors. There is a multi-stage selection process that includes evaluating co-investors, conflicts and non-arms length transactions, among other things. However, we may not apply the same process to every deal.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
Are there management fees or costs?

The fund does not charge a management fee. A small portion of the capital ($15,000) will be used to cover the out-of-pocket costs of setting up and administering the fund over its lifetime.

As of Feb 2017, a small number of syndicate leads are able to charge management fees on individual deals. Only 2 of approximately 500 deals in 2016 charged a management fee and we expect a very small number of syndicate leads to do this going forward.

Update

Delete Question
Does the fund charge a carry?

The fund does not charge a carry. However, each individual investment charges carry. A typical carry for an individual investment is 20%. Generally, 15% of that carry goes to the lead investor of the syndicate and 5% goes to AngelList.

Also, some deals are led by AngelList employees or affiliates, and in those cases, standard per-deal carry will be paid to both the affiliated lead and AngelList.

Update

Delete Question
When are the capital calls?

There will only be one capital call. This will happen when you invest in the fund.

Update

Delete Question
Can I sell my stake in the fund and get out early?

You may not sell your stake or otherwise transfer your interest outside of serious events like death or divorce. Startup investments are highly risky and illiquid.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
How long will the fund last?

The fund aims to deploy capital for approximately 15 months starting May 31, 2017 (subject to change).

Thereafter, the fund will continue to hold the investments until each position has been exited, liquidated or closed, and realized net profits, if any, have been distributed to investors. We estimate that this may take up to 8 years, or more.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
When will I receive distributions from the fund?

Distributions are made at the discretion of the fund’s investment adviser, subject to the establishment of reasonable reserves for obligations of the fund. Reserves may be used to pay for any outstanding liabilities of the fund.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
Can I opt out of one of the fund's individual investments? Can I invest more in an individual company?

You can't opt out of an individual investment. You can invest more in specific companies by clicking the Invest button on that company's profile, where available.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
How will I find out what the fund invests in?

We will disclose each of the fund's investments when they are finalized, and once the investee company gives us permission.

Update
Cancel
Delete Question
When will the fund exercise its pro-rata rights?

The fund treats follow-on opportunities (if any) similar to other investment opportunities, and may participate subject to available capital and deal quality.

Details
Information on this page is qualified in its entirety by the Fund’s Operating Agreement, Private Placement Memorandum and Subscription Agreement, which should be reviewed carefully prior to making an investment decision. Please see these documents for full details regarding risks, minimum investment, fees and expenses.
Investing in venture capital funds is inherently risky and illiquid. It involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for sophisticated and qualified investors. Performance of past deals or a lead investors’ track record is not a guarantee of future returns. The fund's legal name may be different than the name used above.
The AngelList Access Fund, AngelList Syndicates Fund and the AngelList Access Fund II (“Fund”) have entirely different portfolio composition. There is little or no overlap in fund allocations, and past performance of one fund is not indicative of the future return of that fund or of any other fund(s). There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve the same exposure to or quality of portfolio companies held by other AngelList-affiliated Funds.
