The Many Levels of Investing in Startups | Building a VC Ep. 13

In this video, I explain why I’m investing deal-by-deal instead of raising a traditional VC fund, and how this model can benefit both startup founders and investors. I break down how SPVs (special purpose vehicles) work, why they simplify startup cap tables, and why a deal-by-deal investment strategy can be more flexible than the classic venture capital model. I also walk through a live deep tech investment opportunity: Gapfruit, a Swiss startup building a secure operating system for connected devices in the growing IoT connected devices space. Topics in this video: • Venture capital vs deal-by-deal investing • How startup SPVs work • Angel investing and co-investing • Startup deal flow and sourcing investments • Deep tech startups and IoT security Subscribe for more videos about venture capital, angel investing, startups, and building a VC firm.
