San Francisco-based AngelList, a crowdfunding platform and start-up community, launched ‘Syndicates for India’— a way for investors in India to invest alongside experienced angels and venture investor funds that invest in India’s vibrant tech ecosystem.

For investors, syndicates are a private single-deal investment vehicles that let an investor invest in startup allocations shared by syndicate leads, enabling more angels to participate by getting access to top deals. Similar to a venture investor fund, syndicates provide experienced investors the opportunity to earn carried interest on their allocation, and the ability to write bigger checks by pooling capital from dozens of backers in the ecosystem

These syndicate programs operate in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. and through them, AngelList has facilitated investments of $700 million combined in over 1,800 start-ups including Uber and Indian start-ups such as ClearTax, DocTalk and Squad.
