Community Rules

A focal component of Revenue Syndicate is creating an active, positive and respectful environment for our community members.

We have included some simple guidelines for interacting amongst the syndicate and those founders seeking investment.

A violation of these rules may result in posts and/or comments being removed. In the event of consistent violations, a member can be permanently banned from the community.

  • We work hard to secure our members a consistent deal flow and have certain expectations when members are presented with potential opportunities. The core one being if you wish to invest, you invest through the syndicate. Founders have been instructed to tell us when you approach them independently. This will result in a lifetime ban from the syndicate and no refund is given from your current subscription period.

    The carry-fee associated to investments allows the Revenue Syndicate to provide the best possible opportunities to our community. Breaking this, harms our potential to secure spots for the most competitive raises.

  • Not every opportunity presented is going to be to your exact taste, some you might love (and think why didn’t I do this), some not so much.

    These founders have invested their blood, sweat and tears into these businesses, so please refrain from expressing negative opinions. Always be kind.

  • We strive to provide our members with sufficient information to help them vet and form informed opinions prior to investment.

    Given the level of detail provided, all information provided by founders to the community is strictly confidential.

    Anyone seen sharing confidential investment material, within the group or external, will instantly have their membership revoked.

  • Once an investment has taken place, please keep investor updates and general views on your investment private.

  • We want to support founders, help partners and grow revenue. However, anyone who is reported for soliciting the community will be removed.

  • When you register interest in a company, legal documentation is drafted which states shares in exchange for capital. If you spend that capital when it’s needed to be deployed. It means all documentation needs to be redrafted.

    This could also result in the founder choosing to pull the deal which will in turn upset the rest of the investors who have deployed their capital.

    This can result in removal from the community.
