After founding and running 3 of my own companies for 14 years (and selling two), I've spent the last 2 years meeting, mentoring and connecting entrepreneurs in South East Europe. I talk to dozens of founders every month, trying to understand their businesses, their needs & challenges and spot opportunities. I'm using AngelList Syndicates to help solve one of the biggest challenges of the immature startup ecosystem in SEE: lack of angel investments - the smart first money in. I'll be syndicating a handful of deals on AngelList every year: - mostly consumer products and e-commerce / marketplace companies - addressing the global market from the U.S. (want to move to the U.S.) - proven team (I worked with team or invested previously) My track record for 8 investments I made so far: - 6 received follow-on funding of at least $400k within 1 year of my investment - 2 went to Y Combinator - 1 is ramen profitable

I will syndicate deals in companies that have some traction and want to move to the U.S. to address the market there or aim for the global market.
