Prosto VC

What Prosto VC does

Prosto VC (legal entity SIMPLE VC INC.) is a USA-domiciled international venture syndicate and investor club founded in 2023 that enables individual angels to co-invest in global startups through a deal-by-deal structure with minimum checks of $10,000 for web2 and $5,000 for web3 opportunities. The platform aggregates member commitments into special purpose vehicles (SPVs) to participate in rounds alongside tier-1 venture funds, including a16z (9 co-investments), Sequoia (8), Accel (4), Tiger Global (3), Binance Labs (6), Polychain Capital (6), and GV (3). As of available data, the syndicate has executed 90+ deals, onboarded 150+ investors across 34 countries, and channeled $12+ million in angel capital into early-stage web2, late-stage pre-IPO, and web3 opportunities, with reported portfolio outcomes including 2.38x average startup growth in the first two years, 8.5x post-IPO returns on Circle, 12.5x post-TGE returns on EstateX, and a 150% ROI / 93% IRR exit on Bulk within 16 months.

The firm operates two revenue streams: tiered membership fees for the syndicate (Base at $200/quarter plus a $1,000 entrance fee, and Prime at $1,000/quarter with a $6,000 premium-support add-on and a 3-day information advantage on deals) and educational course sales through Prosto Venture Academy, which sells four venture-investing modules at $1,300-$1,600 each. Go-to-market is community-led: prospects complete an online questionnaire, onboarding interview, NDA, and join closed Telegram channels, supported by content on YouTube and Instagram and PR placements in Forbes, Rusbase, VC.ru, and RBC. A parallel Academy motion funnels educated students toward paid syndicate membership.

Operational footprint spans six in-person member meeting hubs across Belgrade, Limassol, Buenos Aires, Yerevan, Moscow, and Lisbon, with stated geographic coverage in 17 countries spanning the USA, Southeast Asia, LATAM, Europe, and the Middle East. The core team is small (1-10), led by co-founder/CEO Alexander Belov (Forbes 30 Under 30, ex-Sber VC-relations) alongside four managing partners with combined personal portfolios exceeding 120 companies and multiple unicorn exits, and embedded external partners from Contribution Capital, Axevil Capital, GTS Ventures, and Uniborn to direct web3, late-stage, and innovative-product verticals.

Direct peers

• AngelList: AngelList pioneered the online angel syndicate and SPV model, letting lead angels roll up smaller checks into single vehicles for venture rounds. Prosto VC operates the same core syndicate/aggregator mechanic for its 150+ member base, targeting similar deal types.
• Republic: Republic is a retail-accessible private investment platform offering syndicates, SPVs, and Reg D/CF offerings across venture and crypto. Prosto VC's deal-by-deal web2/web3 syndicate with low minimums competes for the same angel investor wallet.
• Carta Syndicates: Carta's Syndicates product provides SPV infrastructure for angel investors and fund managers to aggregate checks into single entities. Prosto VC's SPV-based syndication mechanic is functionally the same product layer.
• SeedInvest: SeedInvest is a regulated startup investing platform with syndicates and selective deal flow. Prosto VC's community-led model with curated deal announcements parallels SeedInvest's member access approach.
• MicroVentures: MicroVentures is a micro-VC and online investment platform syndicating venture deals to retail and angel investors with low minimums — the same low-minimum, deal-by-deal thesis as Prosto VC.
• WeFunder: WeFunder operates a retail crowdfunding platform for startup and venture investing under Reg CF/A+, comparable to Prosto VC's mission of broadening access to private deals.
• StartEngine: StartEngine is one of the largest retail-accessible private investment platforms, hosting syndicates and Reg CF/A+ raises. Competes with Prosto VC for the same small-check angel demographic.

Emerging players

• DealMaker: DealMaker offers tech-enabled SPV creation, syndication, and capital-raising infrastructure. Overlaps with Prosto VC on the SPV/syndicate workflow and serves a comparable audience of angels and small funds.
• Assemble Syndicate: Assemble operates a curated investor syndicate providing access to top-tier venture rounds. Closely mirrors Prosto VC's positioning: curated deal flow, professional screening, and co-investment alongside established funds.

Others

• Sydecar: Sydecar provides back-office SPV and syndicate management infrastructure for angel investors and fund managers. Functions as a tooling peer to the SPV operations that Prosto VC runs internally for its syndicate.
