***Please note we cannot/do not actively share company updates with LP's as some of the investor updates are sensitive, however we always welcome check-in's where we can share one off information.
***Riverside Ventures will frequently "co-syndicate" deals with other syndicate leads. This means we will promote other deals that we think are high-quality investment opportunities from our syndicate lead network as additional deal flow/opportunities for our LPs to invest in.
We have an extensive network across founders, VC's, syndicate leads, angel investors, and more that all contribute to our deal flow. We have backed more than 300 founders which also helps with referrals.
