So over the last three years, I raised $56 million through Elevator Syndicate. I have 970 investors that are all accredited investors. And I just text them deals once a month or so. And it's optional. They can invest if they want to. If they don't want to, I always tell them, say nothing. You don't say no, just say nothing. And we won't bother you again.

And so we raised $4 million for this and $6 million for that. We do $3 million to $6 million per deal. Into companies that are doing $2 million to $20 million in sales. Okay. That's our requirement. $2 million to $20 million in sales. It's mostly been food and beverage brands and consumer products.

So we raise money for Rye's Coffee, BLK Water, Ever Bowl, Cars and Coffee, Icon Meals, Creatures of Habit, and all in the same ballpark range. But what's interesting is a lot of these investors can throw in 25K, 50K, 100K. They don't have to put in a million dollars. They can put in 50K, 100K. Our average check size is around 100K. And then sometimes someone will put in 250K or 500K, et cetera.

And then sometimes someone will put in 250K or 500K, et cetera.

But for the most part, it's a lot of 100Ks. But however, at a 970, I only need like 30 to 50 of them, right? I need 3% to 5% to jump in, so 30 to 50 of them. So putting in $100K average, that gets me to my $3 million to $6 million range. And then what I do is called hand-to-hand combat.

Once I raise the majority of it, so let's say I'm raising $4 million, and I'm at like $3.2 million, then I'll text Hunter like, hey, Hunter, I got 3.2 million out of my four, do you wanna jump in? Hey, Ed Milet, hey, Andy, hey, John, Jennifer, whatever, I text them and say, I've got 3.2 million out of my four, and that's called momentum investing.

They feel much more comfortable, because they don't wanna be the first check, and they know that I've now got, let's call it 27 people to put in the 3.2, now they're in, they're excited.

That's a syndication. What I'm talking about is a syndication for private equity, for a beverage company, a food brand. You could do it for clothing. You can do it for a cell phone company, whatever you're thinking about. And syndications allow you to get a group together. I use a company called AngelList. AngelList does all the back end for me, paperwork-wise, lawyers-wise.
