We partner with funds, institutions, and companies to back the deals they can't fully fund, and give a select group of investors access to opportunities they couldn't reach on their own.
The best funds see more great deals than they can fund. The best investors can't get near those deals. Each is waiting on the other. We're built to bring both: a ready network of capital on one side, live allocations from the funds we partner with on the other, matched in days, not months. No waiting. No blind pools. The right capital meeting the right deal, fast.
The best private deals get decided by who you know. We think that's backwards.
The funds with real edge keep finding deals bigger than they can take. Capital should reach those deals, not the loudest room. We move it there, fast.
Great private and pre-IPO rounds quietly fill among insiders. An individual check rarely gets near them. One clean vehicle changes that.
We're picky about the partners we work with and the deals we take. Then we do the work: the vehicle, the paperwork, the admin. Both sides just decide.
Funds, broker-dealers, institutions, family offices, companies: if you're raising, the problem is the same. More good deals than capital to fill them. We bring flexible co-investment capital to your best opportunities. You hold the position, keep economics on your allocation, and keep your founders happy. No new fund to raise. No vehicle to run.
High conviction, a strong lead, a position you'd take in a heartbeat.
The allocation is there, but filling it means over-concentrating, or raising capital you don't have time to chase.
You get an indication of interest inside 5 business days. Then we fill the gap before the round closes and run the vehicle end to end, administered by Sydecar.
Allocation filled, founders happy, your book un-stretched. You keep economics on your allocation, and the deal stays yours.
We invest alongside vetted funds in private and pre-IPO opportunities, through clean single-deal vehicles. You get curated access to deals sourced and diligenced by managers with real edge. No blind pools. You see each deal and decide.
The private and pre-IPO opportunities that compound, if you can ever get near them.
The best rounds are spoken for by insiders. The door rarely opens for an individual check.
We open an allocation we've already secured, sourced and diligenced by a manager with real edge, through a clean single-deal vehicle.
You see the deal, decide for yourself, and commit. Never a blind pool. Never a forced bet.
Three moves: your deal, our capital, closed on time.Three moves: secure, open, decide. One deal at a time.
Your round has room, more than your fund plans to take alone. We confirm the allocation we'll fill beside you.We secure room in a high-conviction private deal, right next to the fund leading it. The hard part, getting in, is already done.
We open a single-purpose vehicle to our own investor network. The structure, the docs, the admin: all on us, administered by Sydecar.We open that allocation to our network through a single-purpose vehicle. Self-contained, transparent, built for one deal only.
The vehicle funds, the round closes on time, and you hold the position you wanted. You never lifted a finger.You see the actual deal, the lead, the terms, the company, and decide for yourself. One at a time. Never a blind pool.
If your deals live in these lanes, our network already wants them. Categories, not a live list.The categories of private and pre-IPO allocations that move through a network like ours. Not a live list, a sense of the lane.
Illustrative categories only: not specific deals, and not a representation that Praus currently holds or can guarantee access to any company or opportunity. Nothing here is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security; any such offer is made only to verified accredited investors through definitive offering documents.
From the moment your round has room to the moment it closes.From the allocation we secure to the decision you make, start to close.
Illustrative: a representative example of our approach, not a specific transaction, and not a representation of any particular outcome. Private and pre-IPO investments are speculative, illiquid, and carry risk of total loss.
We partner with a small number of funds, on a small number of deals. Here's the filter we apply.Every deal that reaches you has already passed this filter.
Funds, broker-dealers, family offices, companies: anyone disciplined, with conviction and a strong position. We partner on the specific deals worth backing, not the name on the door.
Private and pre-IPO opportunities with a credible lead, room to share, and the issuer's sign-off. We're picky here too: if it doesn't clear our bar, we don't bring it.
Accredited investors and institutions who want the access without the legwork. We bring the deals to you, through one clean vehicle. You review and decide.
Four things we hold to, on every deal, for both sides of the table.
Our economics come from the deal's performance, never from your raise. No retainers, no placement fees.One vehicle, one fee layer, same terms for every investor in it. We earn when the deal performs.
Every opportunity stands alone in its own vehicle. No blind pools, nothing buried.
An indication inside 5 business days, and a process built to commit before the round closes.
A focused circle, kept that way. Your raise and your name stay between us.
