A private investor network · By invitation
In this AI era,trust has never mattered more.
Synapse is a private network of fund managers, LPs, family offices and private investors. Tell us what you’re raising or looking to back, and we’ll introduce you to vetted members who fit, only when both sides say yes. Then we get you in the same room at private dinners and events.
Join the private network with over $2B in active capital and growing.
BY INVITATION ONLY
EVERY MEMBER VERIFIED
PRIVATE EVENTS
Two rooms, one network
01 / The problem
The biggest industry in the world still runs on who you already know.
Every investor and lender has a narrow lane — deal size, sector, structure, stage — and almost none of it is written down anywhere. There is no aggregated way to match a specific deal to the specific capital whose criteria actually fit. Cold calls, cold email, LinkedIn: all dying as ways to build trust.
A fund manager raising a first or second fund
A company raising its next round
A business seeking acquisition financing — or a buyer
An industry moving hundreds of billions of dollars, and the only tool anyone trusts is a warm introduction. So we built the place warm introductions come from.
02 / The community
A room where everyone is worth knowing.
Every member is invited and verified, and everyone comes with something to offer and something they need. It’s built around the people in the room, never the people selling to them.
The vetting is done before you meet
Every member joined through a conversation, not a signup form. When you meet someone here, the diligence on the person is already done.
Only deal flow that fits
Your criteria are written down once — size, sector, structure, stage. What reaches you fits them. Nothing to triage, no decks from strangers.
Raising? The ground is already warm
Signal that you're in market and the members whose appetite matches — LPs, anchors, co-investors — already know. The blind search collapses into a short list.
Paid to take the meeting
Vetted startups raising capital come through, not cold. Take the call, give your read, and get paid for your time either way.
Covered, never pitched
Fund formation, banking, legal, data rooms — vetted providers wait at the door and enter only when you ask. Your inbox stays yours.
03 / Events
Some introductions only happen across a dinner table.
Synapse hosts private events for members: closed-door dinners, allocator roundtables and city salons. Each one is seated by who should meet whom, and co-hosted with a single vetted sponsor. No badges, no panels, no pitching from the door.

04 / Introductions
The right people, brought to you.
Between events, we introduce you to members who fit what you’re looking for. Every introduction comes with the reason it fits, and names are shared only when both of you say yes. It all happens by email, so there’s nothing new to learn.

SYNAPSE
An introduction for you: a growth fund with dry powder and a thesis that matches yours, looking for exactly the kind of co-investor your Series A climate fund needs for its lead check. Would you like to meet?
YOU
yes
SYNAPSE
They said yes too. You're connected. Their name, firm and email are below, and they have yours.
01
Tell us once
What you invest in, what you're raising, and who you want to meet. It takes a few minutes when you join.
02
We find the fit
Your criteria are matched against every other member's. When there's a real fit, you hear about it, with the reason.
03
Both sides say yes
Names are shared only when you both accept. No cold outreach and no surprises.
04
Reply in a word
Introductions arrive by email from Synapse Agent. Reply yes or pass, and it takes care of the rest.
EVERY INTRODUCTION IS ALSO IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT SYNAPSENETWORK.CO.
05 / Heard across the table
“This is what investment banks used to do before the internet — find people and connect families. It’s not that this hasn’t happened before. It hasn’t evolved with the way people do business today.”

06 / Principles
Access is the product. Full stop.
Paid, flat, never a percentage
Membership is a flat annual or monthly fee, and we take no fee on any deal we surface for you. No fee is contingent on closing and no fee is a cut of a deal — we are not brokers, and nothing we recommend is bought.
Exclusivity protects value
Admit everyone and the network is worth nothing. Every member is verified, so everyone in it is worth knowing.
Reciprocity is the price
Membership requires something to give and something you need. The network only works because every seat holds both.
Your book stays yours
What you share with us is read for you alone. Nothing is shown to another member until you say so, and names are shared only when interest is mutual.
07 / The members
Seats are taken by people you can’t see — yet.

08 / The path in
From request to first introduction.
Request
Who you are, what you hold, what you're looking for. Two minutes, no deck.
Conversation
If the fit looks real, we schedule a call. The call is the application.
Onboarding
A few minutes of questions on what you hold and what you're after. Synapse Agent matches on exactly this.
First introductions
Each one arrives with the reason it was made. Names open when both sides accept.
09 / Network vs. concierge
Two ways to work with us.
Synapse Network
The organic way in.
Peer-matched introductions, private events, and deal flow with members who already fit your mandate. The network does the finding, over time.
Capital Sourcing Partner
We go find them for you.
For managers who want us doing the sourcing, not just facilitating it. We go out, find LPs that match your thesis, and bring them to you directly — a defined engagement, available by application.
Ask about Capital Sourcing Partner →10 / Portfolio company funding
Capital that’s neither debt nor equity.
For portfolio companies already operating — fifteen or more people, real revenue, real workflows — we place a new form of capital against the business itself. No equity given up, nothing borrowed against the balance sheet. It moves in weeks, not a fundraising cycle.
FOR PORTFOLIO COMPANIES WITH 15+ EMPLOYEES
11 / Questions
What people ask before the call.
Who is Synapse for?
Fund managers, limited partners, family offices, lenders, and the connectors who know everyone. Founders are introduced when a member's thesis matches, so they're invited in rather than pitching cold.
How do I get in?
Request an invitation: two minutes, no deck. If the fit looks real, we schedule a call. That call is the application, and it's how every member was verified.
What does it cost?
Membership is a flat annual or monthly fee, set when you are approved. A free listing keeps you discoverable and in the pool — you're matched into an introduction when a paid member's criteria calls for someone like you, but full deal flow, outbound matching and events are part of paid membership. We take no fee on any deal we surface for you, and no fee is ever a percentage of a deal or contingent on closing. We are not brokers, and nothing we recommend is bought.
How are introductions made?
Each one ties to something you’ve said you're after: raising, deploying, lending, co-investing, buying. Each arrives with the reason it was made, and we would rather send nothing than something thin. Neither name is shown until both sides accept.
Who sees what I share?
What you tell us is read for you alone. Nothing you hold is shown to another member until you say so, and identity opens only when interest is mutual. Deal documents open behind an NDA, watermarked with the reader's name, and every file opened is logged for the member who brought it.
How much of my time does it take?
Very little. Synapse Agent lives in your inbox: introductions arrive by email and a one-word reply acts on them. Onboarding is a few minutes of questions about what you have and what you're looking for.
What are the dinners?
When a few members who fit each other will be in the same city on the same days, we offer them a private table. Names are shared once three say yes. There are closed-door salons on the calendar too.
Admission
Membership begins with a conversation.
Tell us what you hold and what you’re hunting. If there’s a fit, we’ll reach out to schedule a call — that call is the application.
