Lead by Gil Penchina, Uprising is a community of over 2,000 investors and 75 portfolio companies. In the past, the backers of our syndicates have had the opportunity to invest in companies that have raised money from – to name a few – Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia, Founders Fund and Greylock.
Uprising UK is led by our London-based partner, Nancy Fechnay. We created this syndicate to give our backers the opportunity to invest in the best start-ups from the UK. Our network of entrepreneurs across the globe gives us access to grade A+ dealflow. Previous successes include Linkedin (IPO), Paypal (IPO), Ziprealty (IPO), Cafe.com (IPO) and Fastly (at ~40x initial round).
Uprising syndicates give investors the flexibility to participate in investment rounds in all stages. Simultaneously, the core team allows quick decision-making. Compared to traditional financial investors, we are actively leveraging our community of over 2,000 backers to help our portfolio companies grow.
