I follow the opportunity. I am sector, stage and geography agnostic. Visit my website for an idea of the types of deals I've done: www.flucasvc.com
I will syndicate all deals where I have an allocation and the founder allows it. I'm also amenable to co-syndicating deals where there are synergies.
Diligence is my jam (the inner lawyer in me) and I don't hesitate to bring in co-leads or tap others for help when needed to properly evaluate a deal.
