Most angels make decisions alone, fast, on incomplete info. SynthBoard gives you a synthetic IC — five named experts arguing each deal before your wire goes out.
No partner to argue with? The Skeptic, Investor, and Strategist run the IC discussion you don't have.
How much to write into a SAFE you barely have access to? The Analyst and CFO debate position size against your portfolio shape.
When the company raises again, the Boardroom helps decide pro-rata, double down, or pass.
The Empath and Investor pressure-test founder coachability, market timing, and execution probability.
Real questions. Multiple expert perspectives. Every time.
“I have a $25K check ready. Strongest counter-argument before I send it?”
“A company I invested in is raising again at 3x. Pro-rata, double down, or pass?”
“I have 12 angel investments and 8 are stalled. Average down on one, write them off, or hold?”
“A friend is raising a SAFE and I don't want to invest. How do I say no without burning the relationship?”
“Should I join a syndicate or write my own checks?”
Each expert thinks independently — they won’t just agree with each other.
The Investor
Thinks like a board, an LP, and a downstream acquirer at once.
The Skeptic
Questions every premise. Finds blind spots others miss.
The CFO
Pressure-tests unit economics, runway, and capital allocation.
The Empath
Reads the emotional, cultural, and team dynamics behind the decision.
The Strategist
Maps competitive dynamics and strategic options across multi-year horizons.
A synthesized recommendation from your team of experts — not just opinions, but structured analysis.

Synthesized Recommendation
Pass on the new check. The 3x markup signals price discovery moved without product validation. Pro-rata only if you would write a fresh check at this valuation today, with no prior position bias.

Expert Opinions
“Angels lose money in the second-best deal they couldn't say no to. The boardroom is the place to find out which deals belong in that bucket — before the wire goes out.”
Angels rarely have a sounding board. The Boardroom is that sounding board, available the moment a SAFE hits your inbox.
The Skeptic argues against deal heat, social proof, and "the round is closing" pressure — the three biggest angel decision distortions.
Single-deal vibes are common; portfolio-shape analysis is rare. The Boardroom argues each new check in the context of your existing positions.
Some deals you can't pre-flag to anyone you know in the round. The Boardroom keeps the analysis private.
The questions people ask before they sign up.
Yes — early angels make the most expensive mistakes. The Boardroom is structurally helpful before pattern-matching is built. The Free tier handles most early-stage deal questions; you only pay when you want unlimited sessions.
No — AngelList provides deal flow and operational rails. SynthBoard provides decision rigor. Most active angels use both: AngelList for access, SynthBoard for conviction.
Many syndicate deals fit that profile. Use what you have: deck, market size, team backgrounds, terms. The Boardroom will name the gaps (founder coachability, retention dynamics) and recommend questions to ask the lead investor.
It pressure-tests each deal honestly. For weak deals, yes — it argues against. For strong deals, it usually argues for, with specific watch-outs. The recommendation tracks the actual quality, not a default skepticism.
SAFEs (pre-money and post-money), valuation caps, MFN clauses, pro-rata rights, and common signaling traps are all in-scope. For specific deal-term review, pair with your lawyer or a SAFE-savvy peer angel — the Boardroom is for strategic framing, not legal-grade term review.
Yes — every session is saved with a structured memo. Many angels use the session history as their decision journal, reviewing it annually to refine pattern-matching.
