One thing that has made Silicon Valley successful as a startup ecosystem are all the angels who write $1k checks into startups.

some of our most helpful checks are 1k, 5k, and 2.5k compared to a lot of many m checks

How did you take the checks? Via an angel list spv? Bc there's still some distance between company and angels in that scenario? Reason I ask is I have a syndicate with a few solid angels investing but wondering if/how to connect to founder.

if I know I want someone I’m taking their check direct no matter how small Spvs fix this to an extent, but for any good company there’s 10x the capital as there is space in the round. In competitive processes I’ve rarely seen a founder take an spv not of their own construction

this is a long way of saying probably sorry less about the exact instrument and worry more about building the relationship such that when a founder has a free 35k open, it ends up in your inbox and not the lead just filling it out
