Through a variety of channels, public, private and proprietary, I have access to investment opportunities most do not, and for a small monthly fee, I’ll scout, research, lightly-diligence and send you 2-3 immediately-investable technology startups every month
We met Ryan while we were going through Techstars and he became a friend, mentor and ultimately advisor to Groundhog. Ryan is very connected across a variety of ecosystems and introductions from Ryan led to over half of our first round. If you're a VC and looking for that edge, (aka high quality proprietary dealflow) make sure you are talking to @ryannegri!
Thank you for your opinion. To be clear, startups can not pay to be on this list, nor is this standard deal flow. This service wasn't/isn't available to investors, so they've had to rely on their network in the past, which statically hasn't played out very well. Having a diverse range of vetted deal flow, as an angel investor myself, is a wise idea.
For the last year and a half, I’ve been scouting startups and curating lists of the best investment opportunities from all over North America, through Accelerators, Studios, VCs/Funds, LPs, GPs, angels and inbound pitches from founders. I’ve been sharing those deals with a network of VCs. After closing a few deals, I realized, I should charge for this stuff!

Conversely, they do not want leads from startups who paid to be on a list.
Pros:straight forward concept
Cons:Angel investors do not tend to seek deal flow this way. They largely rely on a referral network or a high-level association.
