Lightning Ventures Syndicate

In addition to our Node Series funds, Lightning Ventures manages an active syndicate of accomplished, talented, and unique investors. This group, which includes founders of successful Bitcoin companies and influential figures in the Bitcoin ecosystem, further enhances our ability to support founders and portfolio companies. This robust network provides value-added resources, mentorship, and connections that can propel our investments. We provide our startups with access to strategic partnerships, market insights, and growth opportunities.

For newer investors, Syndicates are a perfect place to start your angel investing journey. The minimums are much lower than being an LP in a more traditional fund (like our Node 2 Fund) and you get to see a lot of dealflow to hone your skills.

How can I join?

The Syndicate is managed through Angellist. You can join our syndicate and start receiving dealflow for free by filling out this short form. If we're offering a Bitcoin deal you like, and you decide you want to invest, the minimum investment is $1,000. Be impactful, add value and join our network. If you are already on AngelList you can simply apply to join our syndicate here.
