All Things Angel Investing #8
Intangible Angel Weekly: Dadz Launch, 👁👄👁, Plexo Capital
Boldstart and TechCrunch both highlighted the great work being done by venture investor Lo Toney to bring VC into the 21st century. Plexo Capital, a GV spin-out, wants to become an accelerator for new fund managers, in the vein of Y Combinator. Plexo will help up and coming managers prepare marketing materials, pitch their strategies to LP’s and manage ongoing communications and back-office. Intangible friend Winter Mead is also working on something similar. Look for more on this topic soon!
