PRECONSENSUS SYNDICATE INTRO

Founder Testimonials: founderNPS.com

PRECONSENSUS™, led by Solo GP Michael Shor (hi!), dreams alongside the world’s most ruthlessly iterative founders—pre-consensus [pre/seed].

Sector-agnostic

Founder-obsessive

Despite sector inclusivity—we believe that founders who are building at the frontier and solving the world’s hardest problems [aerospace, defense, edge compute, energy, hardware, manufacturing etc.] will create disproportionate enterprise value in the coming decades compared with traditional software verticals, hence our deep tech focus.

While we gain conviction regardless of who else participates, Tier 1 firms such as a16z, Khosla, Lowercarbon and others often mark up our very early picks.

WHY PRECONSENSUS?

HOW WE SOURCE: SUPERLATIVE DEALFLOW

We’re industry wide recognized for our contrarian sourcing tactics.

Outbound:

We strongly believe that Twitter is the sandbox for many upper decile pre-seed and seed stage founders.
Twitter’s atomicity, combined with high value following/follower curation, allows a more rapid discovery and filtration process of outstanding founders.
We’ve leveraged a proprietary system of Twitter usage, successfully reaching these founders and their networks.

Inbound:

We’ve created a boutique brand on Twitter as an exceedingly founder friendly VC, thereby driving discerning founders into our inbox.

Warm Intros:

Our portfolio founders have unique access to their talent dense peers
Strong co-investor network

Founder Networks: We’re deeply embedded in networks such as the Thiel Fellowship, YC, HF0, Neo, Founders Inc., among others.

HOW WE PICK: OUR INVESTMENT THESIS

We back the top 1 basis point of founders who excel in combining the following traits:

idea maze mastery
iteration velocity
being radically resourceful—always finding a way despite seemingly unsurmountable challenges
strong team cohesion among the founding team and early employees
proven ability to generate a powerful talent vortex
dedication—decade+ long commitment—and an absolute eschewal for Plan B

HOW WE WIN: FOUNDER NPS—THE FLYWHEEL

PRECONSENSUS' Founder NPS is an effective flywheel for top decile dealflow and coveted allocations (winning alongside and against Tier 1).

Approach: We don't just invest. We buy the privilege to be a fractional co-founder: we proactively...

procure game changing ultra-high leverage intros(state/municipal decision makers, customers, investors, partners)
work closely with founders on Product and GTM strategy
provide high touch support to Portco customers

Our nature to match the founding team's enthusiasm (quoting 1 great founder and paraphrasing many others) re: the startup’s vision, product, and potential engenders deep Founder<>Investor affinity and alignment.

Founders sense that we genuinely care for them as precious individuals 1st, with lives and families—startup founder 2nd.
