About Sieva Kozinsky and Xavier Helgesen

In the last 15 years, Xavier Helgesen and Sieva Kozinsky have started 4 tech companies and sold two of them. Sieva is also the founder of The MBA Fund, where he invested in 50 seed-stage companies. There are 2 Unicorns (soon to be 3) in that portfolio.

Given our backgrounds and network, we're in a fortunate position to get access to invest in unique startup deals brought to us by our friends at top VC firms.

We will use this syndicate as a way to give our greater community access to co-invest in deals with us.

We can't promise we will bring all of our tech investment opportunities to this syndicate. Some of the hottest deals move too fast for a syndicate, and some founders don't want us to syndicate a deal - they just ask us to invest directly, which we will happily oblige when asked.

We believe in "Skin in the Game" so we will never offer a deal to our community that we don't plan to invest in ourselves.

Our past investments include:

• Vise.Ai (Sequoia + FoundersFund + Ribbit backed Unicorn - $1Bn+)
• Jeeves (CRV backed Unicorn - $1Bn+)
• Dandy (Primary, Green Oaks backed Unicorn - $1Bn+)
• TRM Labs (Tiger Initialized Capital, Paypal backed - $500M+ valuation)
• BackLotCars (Acquired for $400M+)
• Burrow (NEA backed $200M+ valuation)
