Through the recommendation of another startup founder, we came across LEXR. Michele and the corporate team guided us through the entire process of the financing round. When we write an email, we receive a reply in no time, and time is taken to explain legally complex issues in a simple and understandable way.

The cooperation was very good and I can already predict that we will approach LEXR again. We had a good feeling right from the start. This was then confirmed throughout the entire process. We had the feeling that LEXR was part of the deskbird team.

Investment Syndicate FAQ

The questions angels, VCs, and founders ask us most before setting up a syndicate.

An Investment Syndicate (also called an investment club) is the legal structure that allows angels, co-investors, and VCs to pool their money, expertise, and connections to make a joint investment in a variety of asset classes, including private equity, startup investments, real estate, and crypto.

Investment syndicates are commonly set up as simple partnerships with a syndicate agreement laying out the rights and obligations of the co-investors. The 'lead investor' is typically responsible for sourcing and negotiating the deal as well as administrating the ongoing investment. The other co-investors contribute cash, potentially along with additional network connections and specific expertise.

Yes. For regulatory reasons, the maximum number of co-investors / partners is capped at 20.

Investment syndicates are tax-transparent structures — the simple partnership itself is not taxed. Taxation occurs at the level of the partners themselves, and the same taxation applies as if the partner were holding the assets directly. A joint reclaim of withholding tax by the lead partner can be possible in arrangement with the tax authorities.

Our standard package takes 5–10 business days: a kick-off call to define key parameters, drafting of your personalized syndicate agreement, a legal expert session to fine-tune the setup, and delivery of final documents.
