The Investment Circle

Every month, we bring in a guest from the VC ecosystem, GPs, angels, LPs, and operators, for an open conversation on how they see venture right now. The guest changes, the conversation stays current, and members get a standing invite.

The Filter

We say no a thousand times so one yes means something

Every company runs the same standardized process. Almost none make it through, and that is the point.

Reviewed and funded figures are ours. Middle stages show the process every company runs through.

Fund Mechanics

Why our curve skips the bottom of the J

Founders give us a discount because we show up with more than a check: our team, programs, and distribution go to work on day one. That elbow grease drives the next round, so our positions mark up early instead of sitting underwater while capital deploys.

Questions, answered

Becoming an LP, explained plainly

The questions we hear most from people weighing their first private-market investment, and from experienced investors sizing us up.

As an LP you put your capital into private companies in exchange for equity, long before those companies are available to public market investors. Individual checks usually land between $1,000 and $100,000, and experienced LPs spread those checks across many companies rather than concentrating in one or two. Early-stage outcomes follow a power law, so diversification is how you give yourself real odds at the outliers.

The barrier for new investors is almost never money. It is access. Companies worth backing rarely need to advertise, so their rounds move quietly through networks of founders, operators, and investors who already know each other. If you are outside those rooms, you tend to see deals only after the people inside them have passed.

That is the gap we built 1752vc to close. Our team screens more than 4,000 startups a year, and members see that sourced deal flow alongside the education to evaluate it and a national community of accredited investors to compare notes with. Instead of spending years assembling a network, you start seeing real opportunities immediately.

Fund I stands at a 41% IRR. Across the platform we have made more than 540 investments and deployed over $300M, and companies that have come through our programs have raised more than $2.2B. We put our own capital into the same companies our members see.

No. Accreditation is the legal floor, not the bar. We keep the partnership deliberately small. The dinners have capped guest lists, the diligence table has real seats, and both stop working when the room gets big. New LPs come in by invitation, or by requesting one and making the case. That is also why the community works: everyone in the room was chosen.

Yes. To invest in private rounds you need to meet the SEC’s definition of an accredited investor. The good news is that more people clear the bar than assume they do, once retirement accounts, equity, and other holdings are counted.

Most LPs write a minimum of $25,000 per fund, and it scales from there with experience and conviction. Investing through the fund gives you the widest diversification from a single commitment.

Many members also write $10,000 to $25,000 checks into the specific companies they believe in, and occasionally $100,000 or more on high-conviction bets. In early-stage investing, consistency and diversification matter far more than the size of any one check.

A seat at the table where decisions get made. Our investment team runs the same standardized diligence process on every company, and members can sit in on those sessions throughout the week, question founders directly, and see the scorecard we use. Every month there are investor dinners and networking nights across Los Angeles with intentionally small guest lists, plus pitch nights where you meet companies before a round is priced.

As much or as little as you want. Some members join a diligence session most weeks and lead conversations with founders. Others stay hands-off, read the memos, and simply decide whether to participate. Nothing obligates you to write a check on any given deal.

Invest at the inflection point

Curated early-stage deal flow, rigorous due diligence, and a seat we don't hand out often. Accredited investors only.
