What Emerging Managers are Saying about Sydecar

• “Sydecar’s KYC and due diligence process is thorough and efficient, which is especially important for us, given the complexities of our investor base. It's reassuring to know that Sydecar takes compliance seriously while also allowing us to get deals done quickly.”

  Yelzhan Kushekbayev

  CEO, MA7 Angels Club

• “Sydecar has been a game-changer for us. It lets us execute deals seamlessly, keep our LPs in the loop, and move fast when opportunities pop up. That speed makes sure we don’t miss out on great investments.”

  David Yakobovitch

  GP, DataPower Ventures

• “We were recently able to close an SPV in under a week. I don’t think there’s any way to do that without Sydecar.”

  Jason Zins

  Founder and Managing Partner, Nomi Capital

• “Fundraising and managing LPs can be a huge administrative burden. Sydecar handles so much of that for us, so we can focus on backing great founders instead of tracking down paperwork.”

  Maia Bittner

  Managing GP, Parcel B

• “I'm very possessive of my investors. I want them to see only my deals, not offers from every other syndicate out there. That's why I chose Sydecar.”

  Gabriel Jarrosson

  Managing Partner, Lobster Capital

• “The deal tracking feature in Sydecar’s Syndicate platform is just what we needed to stay on top of our syndicate’s activity. Knowing which investors are most active and understanding the types of deals they prefer helps us focus our efforts where they matter most.”

Why Sydecar Outperforms AngelList

Your deal, your brand.

Sydecar has no marketplace and does not communicate with your LPs. You fully own your investor relationships. We are your back office, not your competition.

Fast execution, human support.

Sydecar automates the manual, repetitive work behind every deal to ensure fast execution, so our team can focus on the support that actually requires a person. SPVs are reviewed and approved within 4 hours of submission.

Built for SPVs of all types.

Sydecar is purpose-built for SPVs, which means support for complex structures: secondaries, layered vehicles, multiple closes, complex carry, and international investors, all in one place. You never have to switch administrators as your deal types evolve.

Pricing that fits every deal size.

Sydecar's fee structure scales with your deal, giving you the flexibility to say yes to more opportunities. You never have to pass on a deal because the economics don't work.
