What Emerging Managers are Saying about Sydecar
“
Sydecar’s KYC and due diligence process is thorough and efficient, which is especially important for us, given the complexities of our investor base. It's reassuring to know that Sydecar takes compliance seriously while also allowing us to get deals done quickly.
Yelzhan Kushekbayev
CEO, MA7 Angels Club
“
Sydecar has been a game-changer for us. It lets us execute deals seamlessly, keep our LPs in the loop, and move fast when opportunities pop up. That speed makes sure we don’t miss out on great investments.
David Yakobovitch
GP, DataPower Ventures
“
We were recently able to close an SPV in under a week. I don’t think there’s any way to do that without Sydecar.
Jason Zins
Founder and Managing Partner, Nomi Capital
“
Fundraising and managing LPs can be a huge administrative burden. Sydecar handles so much of that for us, so we can focus on backing great founders instead of tracking down paperwork.
Maia Bittner
Managing GP, Parcel B
“
I'm very possessive of my investors. I want them to see only my deals, not offers from every other syndicate out there. That's why I chose Sydecar.
Gabriel Jarrosson
Managing Partner, Lobster Capital
“
The deal tracking feature in Sydecar’s Syndicate platform is just what we needed to stay on top of our syndicate’s activity. Knowing which investors are most active and understanding the types of deals they prefer helps us focus our efforts where they matter most.
Alex Pattis
GP at Riverside Ventures
“
Other platforms were more expensive or had way more bells and whistles than I needed.
