This is not your typical monthly update because a lot of things are changing here at Syelo and if you allow me to be crass for one second, the biggest change is that we want to you to be rich. We want our members to drive matching Syelo Range Rovers and we’re going to make it happen.

Bold claim? No. Let me explain.

As Talent Leaders our job is to build build unicorns with the human capital they need to be massively successful. Every company CEO says it, “the most important thing is our people” which means by default our job is one the most important functions in the entire org. But! When companies go from 0 to a billion it is the executives, engineers, and sales teams that reap the financial rewards, very rarely do Talent Leaders make generational wealth off exits, IPOs, or upon achieving profitability.

Not only do we not get financially rewarded as executives in liquidation events but we are also never invited to invest in the best startups at their earliest stages.

That all changes today. 

Syelo 2.0 = Syelo Ventures

Our goal as a community is to build generational companies and capitalize on the generational wealth that follows. 

Syelo Ventures is revolutionizing the venture space by investing and building startups from the ground up alongside alongside world class investors like A16z, General Catalyst, Y Combinator, etc. When a startup is funded by Syelo Ventures we at Syelo build them a world class team in exchange for equity. Learn more here:

We deploy services for equity. The best part, the equity we secure from startups is put into a collective fund that every member of Syelo vests in. 

How do we do this? At Syelo we no longer offer a free of tier of membership, dues are back and they range from $500 per year to $2,500k per year.

Dues are collected and ultimately used to invest in startups, the equity we collect in these transactions are put in a communal fund that we all profit from. Members who invest in Syelo Ventures become Venture Partners.

Together we are democratizing access to the best investments for our members and securing our futures and the futures of our families. For us by us.

SkillPool

You can’t be a venture fund without any investments! Today we are extremely excited to announce our very first investment in SkillPool!

SkillPool is a next generation ATS built natively in AI. When you think of the incumbents today all of their platforms use AI as a feature none as a core operating system, and this because their monolithic platforms are simply old tech.

When the coolest ATS in town (you know who I am talking about) was built the AI revolution had not happened, well SkillPool was built after OpenAI pushed most of tech into the stone age.

If you are actively on the hunt for an ATS and are interested in giving this a whirl reach out! We currently offering 6 month free trials for early stage startups.

Conclusion

As a community the biggest question we constantly obsess over is value. How can we drive the most value for the members of our collective? What can we build, implement or do that will ultimately empower our community to their fullest potential?

Syelo Ventures is the embodiment of that obsession. Our focus to build the greatest talent community on earth has led us to this path.

How do you empower a marginalized group? You put them in the driver seat, you make them Venture Partners.

In tech being a powerhouse investor is the drivers seat and we are excited to build a people first future powered by talent leaders - the true humanist of tech.
