SyndicateRoom Reviews 23

SR were one of the easiest investors on our cap table to talk to. Took less than an hour to secure our investment and they've been nothing but helpful. Couldn't recommend enough.

Syndicate Room have been great to work with. They were very clear on process and timelines from the outset. Tom has been a pleasure to deal with and all comms has been clear and timely.

I was introduced to SR by the founder of another brand, who described them as a low-management, founder-friendly investor.

It was easy to secure an intro call with the team. Anthony quickly confirmed that my business met their criteria and was clear that, provided this remained the case, they would invest.

After sharing the required materials, the investment followed without lengthy or burdensome due diligence — just a straightforward, well-run process.

I’d happily recommend them to other founders.

I would agree with the other one star reviewers re the EIS funds. I don't think this format works well. Investments are spread thinly across a wide range of startups, which in theory reduces risk. However any returns arrive when companies sell. So each return is small and returns are spread out over long periods with a lot of the return being swallowed up by fees. In my funds, since 2017, there have been 86 small investments. 28 have failed, as we might expect for startups, but only 3 have valuations above 3X the investment, which may improve with time, but looks to be falling a long way short of expectation for startups. Also the fund is complex to manage for the investor. If you want to claim EIS loss relief, each of the failures need to be tracked each tax. Overall not a great option for EIS investments.

The team was really supportive, but hands off as appropriate, and kept everything simple throughout. Things moved swiftly when it needed to, and the whole thing was straightforward.

Great DD and fast answers. Very clear structure and transparent way of investing. I would definitely recommend them.

It's now been 7 years since I invested with Syndicate Room. Unfortunately, since my last review a year ago, the situation has continued to deteriorate. My overall portfolio is now down -21%. There have still been no exits, no returns, and no positive developments. Each year, I simply pass another failed company to my accountant to claim what little tax relief I can.

What was meant to be a long-term growth investment has so far delivered only ongoing losses and the added burden of managing failed investments. Sadly, this experience has been disappointing, and I cannot recommend Syndicate Room based on my results.

From my first contact with Syndicate Room they were extremely clear in their criteria for investment. Once we qualified the process was extremely slick and no overly heavy due diligence.
The communication was always extremely helpful prior to qualifying and first class once we did qualify.
It was also a very quick process.

Easy, smooth investment process.

Brilliant and efficient. Real understanding of the needs and requirements of founders. SyndicateRoom acted quickly and were very professional throughout. In particular, Anthony was always available to reach out to answer any questions.

We had the pleasure of working with the SR team as an investee and it was a very straightforward, transparent and efficient process, would highly recommend!

Great company to work with, Samuel was great through the whole investment process and super patient with us. Could not recommend working with them more!

Great service, huge thanks to Samuel and the team!

Syndicateroom was easy very professional and easy to deal with. We agreed on the terms, they gave reasonable timeframes, low fees and were always very responsive.

It was a delight to work with Syndicate Room team. Just what we needed during the fundraise roller-coaster. They have kept the process simple and clear. We worked closely with Anthony from Syndicate Room and he was approachable, patient (despite the various changes on our end) and always responsive! So glad to have SyndicateRoom as one of our investors early on! - Kanu, Co-founder - Speek Health

Syndicate Room made our seed funding process a breeze. Their efficient approach and swift decision to invest in iCustoms.ai were incredibly positive. We're already seeing them as a valuable partner, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to other startups seeking investment.

Excellent team and one of the most founder friendly processes dealt with.

A pleasure to work with the team at SR. They are extremely founder friendly and have a quick turnaround time. Samuel was wonderful to coordinate with.

Professional and efficient - we are incredibly excited to have Syndicate Room and their investors with us for the next stage of our journey. Tom, Head of Operations, Finexos
