Utah Business
Beehive Venture Partners announced last week the launch of the Beehive Syndicate, a program to allow more people in Utah to invest in early and growth-stage funding rounds for private Utah companies.
“We want to build an ecosystem where more Utah residents make small investments to Utah companies in angel, seed, and growth-stage funding rounds,” says Beehive Venture Partners co-founder Luke Gunderson. “Utah has become a hotbed of tech startup activity, but many of the investment benefits have accrued to firms and individuals on the coasts. We need to capture more of that value inside of Utah so we can create compounding, positive network effects.”
Utah Business 4.38k Utahns can now invest as little as $1,500 into a promising Utah startup, alongside venture capital investors. And they can do it from their mobile phone with the click of an “invest” button.
Beehive Venture Partners, a seed and pre-seed investment fund, launched an online platform for angel syndicate investments in January. The platform lets qualified accredited Utah investors view one to two new startup deals each month with pitch decks, a video, the term sheets, and more schedule visits with the founders, and invest online just by connecting their banks and hitting “invest.”
“Literally in five to 10 minutes you can make an investment right next to VC firms,” says Beehive’s fund manager Luke Gunderson, who started the firm with his brother, Jordan. “It’s not the typical model at all and to invest that quickly is highly extraordinary.”
