Animal is a syndication company.

We build syndicates around founders, 

not a fund around managers.

The best founders experience no venture capital scarcity. 
Rare skills, lived experience and a deep network are harder to find: exited founders, industry leaders, media voices, and the entrepreneurial family offices that built last generation's champions.

We start from who the founders want on their cap table and build the syndicate around it.


No fund. No management fees. Carry only.
We co-invest our own capital in every deal.

Investors get to pick investments.

We focus on early stage (pre-seed to Series A),
but we’re stage-agnostic.
