Invest in my syndicates if you want to make money by getting involved with the best Midwest seed-stage startups. I scour the Midwest looking for companies in need of seed financing. I am a generalist investor, my only theme being to invest in companies based in the underserved markets of the Midwest where capital is not as efficiently allocated, especially at the seed stage.

I have a whole thesis on this with evidence showing a persistent trend of outperformance of Midweest seed investments, and I'll be happy to talk with prospective investors about this and show off my fancy-pants data, charts, and diagrams.

A little about me: I spent 18 years as an operator for startups, healthcare, large multinationals, overseas companies. Then I got my MBA and realized that there's more to the world than being a technology operator. For two years, I managed a pool of capital for a Chinese LP and deployed it into US companies. My sole LP ceased making new investments in US venture after the Trump election, and I have decided to raise a fund to continue the work of supporting the best seed-stage founders and their companies.

And of course, I and my syndicate members hope to profit along the way :)

I am in the midst of traveling the Midwest raising a seed fund, and I am positioned to see good dealflow from the less-trafficked cities in the region. I am syndicating 100% of the deals that I am investing in until I close my fund, so rest assured that I am not hoarding the best deals for myself. Once the fund closes I am not sure if it makes sense to continue to syndicate deals. I'll make that determination when the time comes. Presently I am syndicating 100% of my deals and I am personally investing in all of these deals alongside the syndicate.
