I'm an entrepreneur (InfoSpace; $35+ billion market cap), prolific angel (65+ direct investments; 100s more as LP in venture funds), accelerator founder (BoomStartup), and educator (13+ years entrepreneurship professor). I was an early investor in Omniture (IPO; acquired by Adobe for $1.8 billion). Currently have at least 25 active angel investments. Having been approached numerous times by entrepreneurs asking me to start a Syndicate, I finally found a deal worthy to be the first in my Syndicate. I use my long history, extensive angel experience, accelerator experience, to find and nurture strong deals. If a founder of a hot deal allows, I will syndicate his/her deal on AngelList. 2015-16 FOCUS ON UTAH. Utah (especially my area in Provo - 5 minutes from my home) is a hotbed producing unicorns like Omniture, Qualtrics, Vivint, PluralSight, Domo, etc. (Google it to get a flavor). I will focus on the coolest stuff coming out of Utah and I have extraordinary insight into the hot SaaS B2B and mobile companies. “The World Table” is my first deal I am syndicating. Huge idea, world-class team. Swinging for grand slam! (I have decent networks in SV and Seattle to source deals, too.) Angel investing is challenging, but it’s super fun and addicting. I’ve analyzed my investments over the past 20 years: my IRR is about 35% but most of that is in the Top 5 exits - take out the Top 5 and the IRR is about -8%. I am a much better investor now than I was when I started 20 years ago. I should have a strong IRR going forward (can’t promise anything, of course). Angel investing should never be more than 10% of your investable assets/net worth. 1% would be a good start. Please act responsibly and only back at a level that you can afford to lose because my Syndicate seeks highly scalable ventures - looking for grand slams, not singles. Investing in my Syndicate, like all syndicates on AngelList, is very risky - the outcome is most often a total loss. There is no guarantee of a "soft landing" or acquisition for any company, even in a seemingly “successful” company it can take 10+ years to achieve any liquidity and even then it may fail. I will give preference to Backers who have a completed AngelList profile. Backers who have pre-funded their accounts will get priority in deals. Policies:

• You can opt out of any particular deal without penalty
• Don't expect frequent updates (possibly none)
• Be comfortable with risk and prepared to lose your entire investment without complaint

I will make a best effort to share every deal where I have an allocation of at least $100K, provided the founder / entrepreneur allows it.
