I am an early AngelList user, former founding employee of an early-stage startup, and current operator of a $100m++ apparel business. I respect innovation, but value people and execution above all else.
The deals available via my syndicate will adhere to three primary principles:
1) The companies will be in the fashion/apparel segment where I can add concrete value.
2) The companies will be at or nearing wing-dinner/ramen profitability.
3) The founder/s will be Stanford graduates, as much of my deal-flow arrives through my friends and former classmates. I also happen to believe Stanford is the greatest university in the world and consistently produces brilliant innovators and operators.
I intend to invest in successful operating businesses that may scale to $100mm+ in revenue, but won’t necessarily have to.
I will syndicate all deals that support the thesis mentioned above.
