Changer is a private business club, a community of successful "industrial" entrepreneurs, investors, and top managers from the West and the East who believe that influence is determined by the ability to change. We learn from each other's experience, create international boards of directors and invest in the future.
Changer Club members, usually 45+, are watching an unprecedented economic transformation to digital, but how to figure out digital business models by yourself? How to be the first investor in technologies that will skyrocket tomorrow? We decided to learn from visionary venture capitalists from all over the world and carefully selected startup founders, adapting their techniques to transform our own businesses. In 5 years, all businesses will be digitized - it's time to figure it out! We are not simply learning - we are co-investing with small checks in closed pre-IPO deals in the USA and Europe, using the Club's convenient syndicate fund.
Changer does not require flights, you can stay in any place in the world, being with members online aтd feeling like a part of a close-knit team of curious millionaires (yes, your current state must be convincing - see the admission criteria below). And when you decide to meet your fellow members live – welcome to the offline meetings in Riga (Latvia).
International environment, technology, and investment – this means Changer Club.
The future of making money lies in technology. If you want to turn 100,000 Euro into 100,000,000 you need mistakes-proven knowledge of how the Digital Economy operates inside out. Club Changer hunts all over the world rare venture capitalists, who explain trends shifting analog business into digital. They also open up secrets of start-up investing. All told in “human” language.
These remarkable gentlemen have already visited Changer - Jon Medved, OurCrowd (Israel, “Godfather” of Start-up Nation), Bill Morrow, Angels Den (UK, leading business angel in Europe), Bas Godska, Acrobator.vc (Holland, foreign angel investor Nr.1 in CIS countries).
Investing into a startup is a high risk decision. 95% of startup investments fail but waiting time to hit a unicorn is 10 years. There is a better approach - pre-IPO investments in deals like SpaceX, Courserra or Udemy. The probability of failure is less then 0.01% and investors can expect 2-3x returns within just few years. However secondaries markets require checks worth several millions and access to highly demanded deals.
This is where syndicated investment makes a lot of sense. If you invest together with, say, 20 investors then you access to unique US tech stars with checks from just 10,000 Eur.
By investing with syndicate, you also save time and money on legal procedures. Investing into startups is often a tough challenge, you need to negotiate your deal with founders, do due diligence of the company and paperwork, keep in touch with the team later on. This is where syndicate is more effective than a single investor. Due diligence is done by professional syndicate manager, he supervise portfolio companies after investment is made and to help them grow, raise next rounds or make an exit.
Changer Club syndicate does even better. We co-invest with curated US venture capital companies. We make both primary investments directly participating in financing rounds and secondary deals in late stage, pre-IPO companies. This way our members learn business models from world most exciting tech firms, have professional VCs take care about investment management and enjoy high returns.
Сhanger members have invested over 7 mln Eur in Udemy, Memic (IS), Boatsetters with checks just from 10,000 Eur.
