Investment Thesis

Interlock Capital believes that great companies and founders are missed through traditional venture capital models due to access barriers, geographic limitations, and lack of specialized expertise. They operate as a community-driven angel syndicate that leverages the collective intelligence of hundreds of Venture Partners (founders, operators, subject matter experts, and investors) to find, evaluate, fund, and support the best companies. The core philosophy centers on democratizing angel investing by allowing individuals to invest as little as $1,000 per deal while accessing institutional-quality diligence and a network of expert advisors.

What Sets Them Apart

Community-driven model with 366+ investors and 100+ subject matter experts providing diligence and support
Low entry point ($1,000 minimum per deal vs. traditional $25k-$50k minimums)
Extensive, objective deal memos with full transparency on diligence team credentials and both pros and cons
Subject matter expert network catalogued and mobilized for company-specific due diligence
Post-investment support beyond capital: founders can tap network to solve major operational problems
Deliberate focus on diversity - intentionally seeking underrepresented founders and geographies
Unique funding model that de-risks multiple stages of the investment process for LPs
Emphasis on paying it forward and community building, not just financial returns
