2021: Launch of the fund SmartSpray UNO

On December 1, 2021, the club venture capital investors Angelsdeck announced the launch of its own index venture fund SmartSpray UNO, which will invest 4 million dollars during the year in the club's 20 best projects.

Over a year and a half, more than 90 deals totaling $40 million were syndicated in AngelsDeck. So there was a need to create convenient and innovative investment tools. Investments in the fund with a minimum check of 50 thousand dollars allow club participants to qualitatively diversify their portfolio and be guaranteed to participate in the most promising transactions. AngelsDeck plans to launch such funds annually as capital is distributed.

At the heart of the pipeline SmartSpray UNO are projects selected by experienced syndicators that conduct deep due dilligence and themselves participate in the transaction on the principle of skin in the game. Thus, they confirm their confidence in the prospects of projects.

Despite the fact that the decision to participate in promising transactions should be made as quickly as possible, it should be balanced, and this requires time for analysis, deep knowledge and expertise. The AngelsDeck club has already proved the effectiveness of the three-stage model, where the syndicator is the first high-quality filter, the second stage is checking the club according to its strict criteria, and at the third step the most experienced club members, who also confirm the prospects of the transaction, give feedback. Now we are launching an additional tool that will act as an index fund, helping participants AngelsDeck preferentially and automatically enter the best projects. We believe that the totality of such a model, as well as the work of the index fund, should further improve the effectiveness of the portfolios of club members, "said Igor Kaloshin, CEO and co-founder of AngelsDeck.
