E16: Syndicates, Angel Investing, and Founder-First Investing with Alex Pattis

Alex Pattis is the General Partner of Riverside Ventures. Riverside is an early stage firm that operates both a traditional venture fund but also a syndicate with more than 6,000 LPs. Alex and I talked about the rise of syndicates, how they work, why he thinks most VCs oversell the value they add to founders, and what he’s excited to invest in today.
