In addition to an investment of up to $100K, we bring an engaged network of founders, product experts, and investors. We invest between $50K-$100K in the same amount of time it takes to talk to a single angel investor. We are a single line item on the cap table. Everything is simpler. For Founders Plucky is not a VC firm. There are no GPs or LPs. We invest to support the founders tackling the next generation of problems - that’s it. We are 100% aligned with founders. Plucky is not a syndicate. There are no passive investors. We have a variety of backgrounds and experiences such as founders, product experts, and investors. We want to be hands-on. For Angels Active and aspiring angel investors can maximise both their impact and learning with Plucky. This is a different type of classroom - there are no teachers with lesson plans, only open-minded students. You submit, evaluate, and invest in real deals. You put your own money in the companies you believe in. You magnify your impact by being able to support founders as part of a community. Startups benefit from a larger check and a diverse network. This makes the startup more likely to survive, improving its impact on your portfolio. Combined with deal flow and smaller individual checks, you can unlock a more robust risk/return profile. There are no management fees and no carry fees. We keep interests aligned through collaborative investing and membership curation.
