Frequently Asked Questions

A syndicate is a group of investors that pools their capital to invest into deals via a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). As a member of the Octopus investor syndicate, you’ll be invited to deals that you can choose to invest in on a deal-by-deal basis.
We use the Odin platform to syndicate our deals. In order to invest through the Odin platform, you must be a “Self-certified sophisticated investor” or a “High Net Worth Investor”, and meet the requirements set out in article 23A of the Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes Order, by the FCA. The “sophisticated investor” standards vary between countries, but to invest on the Odin platform all investors must at least meet UK requirements. Non-UK investors should also review the standards under their local law. For example, the “Accredited Investor” standard for US investors.
For most of the deals we present to Octopus syndicate members, the minimum ticket size is €10K.

You will receive 1-2 investment opportunities per month straight to your inbox, which includes a detailed analysis (investment memo, investor deck, deal terms, etc) on each deal. After reviewing them, you will be invited to share your commitment and complete the process via the Odin process. After completing the transaction, you will receive an official document approving your investment.

We do not charge any management or subscription fees from syndicate members. When you invest in a deal, you will only be charged 4.75% of your total investment amount as admin and legal fees by the Odin platform.

The Octopus syndicate is operating on a success fee solely, in the form of a carried interest. We charge 20% of the future profits you gain from an investment you made via the syndicate.
