So, how exactly does one pitch the founder collective? :-)

Sounds more like a group of angels than the formalized process that characterizes YC and others?

Hopefully the gap they're going for is the $50k-$250k gap since < $50k is easier with friends/family and > $250k is closer to a regular angel round.

Will be interesting to see if they innovate on the warm lead the way YC has.

They list it as "$50k - $1M". Their total fund size is $40M, so they will likely be looking for more smaller investments.

I'd expect stage one is 'get an introduction to a member'.

Interesting to see it's not based out of Silicon Valley. Was at a panel on Saturday about angel investing and the scene is certainly a lot more geographically distributed than I'd realised.

It's as easy as: http://foundercollective.com/contact or tweeting @fcollective to get things started.

I wish Chris & the collective the very best, good to see different models being tried out in the VC space.

Sounds great. We need for ex-founders to help finance the next generation.

I like their name, and the company of people involved. :)

I love it. I can't wait to see the moves they make.
