This is community driven investing
Our syndicate, formerly “The Unreasonable Collective,” is designed for accredited investors looking to participate in curated opportunities across the Unreasonable Fellowship. With a lens for inclusivity, 81% of the deals we have structured have been into ventures led by diverse CEOs who identify as Women and/or Persons of Color.
Each year, we syndicate 5 to 12 opportunities for the funders in our community. There are no annual or upfront fees required to gain access to our syndicate. If you choose to invest, we charge a standard 2% management fee and 20% carried interest on a deal-by-deal basis. Read more about pricing or express interest in joining our community. To date, we have syndicated investments into the 18 ventures highlighted below.
Changing the Demographics of Finance
While deal flow is our differentiator, our global community is our greatest asset. With the goal of making venture investing more inclusive, accredited investors in the Unreasonable community can allocate as little as $10,000 USD into any deal that we structure. To date, more than 132 individuals have participated in our syndicate, and 49% of those individuals identify as Women and/or Persons of Color. Below are just a few of the individual investors in our community who you may have the opportunity to invest with via our syndicate.

The one takeaway from the Unreasonable Investor experience is 'the people.' You're going to meet the greatest people in the world, you're going to meet entrepreneurs who are changing the world, and you're going to meet other investors who share your passion about helping others. It's just an incredible group of people. I've become lifelong friends with quite a number of them, and I look forward to being a part of the Unreasonable investor community for years to come.

When we read about Unreasonable's Syndicate, it immediately resonated. Allowing us to become active participants through investing directly in the early-stage businesses that could impact the future, rather than in anodyne ESG funds, was exactly what we were looking for. But Unreasonable is so much more. The interaction through the discussions and workshops, and the opportunity to learn from and engage with others, both experts and neophytes like us, is unique. Above all, the team at Unreasonable has made the experience easy and very enjoyable.

Every single person I've met through Unreasonable's syndicate has been insanely impressive and inspiring. We've seen a handful of really impressive opportunities over the last few months...these are actual real business models, companies with real traction, you actually get to meet the management team, get intimate, understand the business models, and there's something that any great investor would want to put their money into.
