● Ârc Angel · Syndicate · AngelList
A syndicate for Ârc members, on Ârc terms.
Fulgur and Curious lead pre-seed rounds from inside the Ârc accelerator at Network School. Ârc Angel lets members of the community invest in those rounds on identical terms, from $1,000 per deal.
Closed to non-members. Accredited investors only.
01 · The Opportunity
Co-invest in rounds already led by Fulgur or Curious.
Fulgur (Bitcoin) and Curious (AI × Web3) fund founders from inside the Ârc accelerator. Both GPs live onsite at Network School. Diligence is done in person, over weeks, before either fund writes a check.
When they do, Ârc Angel opens a slice of the round to the community on the same terms: same valuation, same documents, same investor rights. The minimum is $1,000. No commitment to any individual deal.
02 · How It Works
Three steps, from membership to allocation.
Step 01
Apply
Request access via the form. AngelList handles accreditation verification at onboarding.
Step 02
Receive memos
When Fulgur or Curious lead a round, a memo goes to the syndicate. It sets out the company, the terms, the thesis, and the lead investor's conviction.
Step 03
Allocate
Commit from $1,000 per deal. Allocations are first-come, first-served within the syndicate cap. Pass on anything you don't want to back.

Standard funds and syndicates charge 20% carry plus a 2% annual management fee. Ârc Angel charges 15% and nothing. We want you to win.
04 · Deal Flow
Fewer, higher-conviction memos.
Deal flow is limited to rounds led by Fulgur or Curious within the Ârc accelerator. Ârc Angel does not source deals independently, does not syndicate third-party rounds, and does not run a fund of funds.
Expected cadence is modest in year one and increases as the accelerator's portfolio grows. We would rather send fewer, higher-conviction memos than keep the syndicate busy for its own sake.
05 · What the Syndicate Is Not
Clarity, so you know what you're in.
Not a fund
There is no committed capital, no management fee, and no obligation on members to participate in any given deal.
Not a lead
Fulgur and Curious set the terms; Ârc Angel invests on them.
Not a substitute for your own diligence
Memos summarise the lead's view. Members decide.
Pre-seed is the highest-risk stage of venture investing. Most companies at this stage fail.
06 · Who Can Join
Closed to non-members. Accredited investors only.
