Note from Scott Shane

Note from Scott Shane
Our second Comeback Capital fund will take the form of an AngelList Rolling Fund. This is a model where you subscribe to our deal flow directly with a quarterly capital commitment.
Like a traditional fund:
  • It charges management fees and has a fund-wide (crossed) carry across a pool of deals (not per-deal carry like syndicates).
  • It's a blind pool that Comeback Capital’s GPs can use to make quick and precise commitments to invest in fast-moving deals.
Unlike a fund, the huge benefit to you is that you can change your commitment amount, raising and lowering it for future investments.
The huge benefit for us is that we can raise money incrementally, one investor at a time, rather than having to do a one-time, big-bang fundraise and then lock the fund for four years.
The net effect is that you're now subscribing to Comeback Capital’s venture deal flow. You can raise or lower your capital every quarter depending on your confidence and desired risk exposure.
AngelList creates a series of quarterly funds underneath for each investment, and then does the calculations to cross the carry on top to create a single "virtual fund".
The Comeback Capital rolling fund will invest in approximately 40 capital efficient technology companies at the pre-seed and seed stage located in the heartland (i.e., not exclusively in New York City, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, or Boston). Portfolio companies will target a customer base that suggests remaining in the heartland. They will have large markets, a compelling value proposition, a strong team, and demonstrated customer affinity at a small scale.
The new fund will focus on the kinds of opportunities that led our earlier fund to have significant mark-ups in half its portfolio in a year after investing: (1) early companies raising less than $500K rounds; (2) priced rounds led by known California and New York VCs seeking boots-on-the-ground co-investors, and (3) bridge deals that offer unusual value.
Most investments will be in the $50K to $250K range at $2M-$6M valuations. 
Like our first fund, we will strive to be the first “smart and connected” money into companies in geographies with relatively little smart and connected capital. We will bring current Silicon Valley instruments and terms to areas that have been investing with outdated and illogical terms.
Like the earlier fund, LPs will have the opportunity to sidecar into investments directly and will receive follow-on rights.
As with the first fund, the new Comeback Capital fund will take advantage of state incentives, including tax credits and capital match not available to individual investors. Every portfolio company will receive an LP mentor.
The investment process will be the same as that with the initial fund. We will use existing activities of the team to source deals that lets us take advantage of lower opportunity costs and see deals that others miss. We will examine everything with a quick quantitative screen that allows us to avoid investing in bad deals as well as failing to engage founders of good ones. We will act quickly - 14 days or less from first meeting to wired money - which makes us more attractive to founders and lets us invest at an average 35 percent discount to market.

Fees for each quarterly fund in the Rolling Fund Program will vary based on each quarterly fund’s capital contributions since the fee includes a flat fee component. The last quarterly fund in this Rolling Fund Program closed $384.75k in contributed capital. Learn more about how to estimate your commitment’s fees at our help center.
Fund Lead Commitment
Scott Shane's personal subscription per quarter will be at least $12,500 in total. Scott Shane will satisfy their GP commitment in part by waiving 50% of management fees otherwise owed to them by the fund. The remainder of the commitment will be contributed in cash.
Special Disclosure
