Anyone else part of the early access to Sweater Ventures (sweaterventures.com)? I got access but haven't committed anyoney yet and am trying to feel out how much I should throw into this fund?

Never heard of this before but just clicked the link and read about it. Why are these people qualified to make investments and what’s the value proposition? I would have hoped this was immediately clear upon opening the website but doesn’t seem so. The CEO also looks like he has a 2nd job which seems weird

The prospectus is in the app, I haven't had time to read all the way through it, obviously will before I throw money at it, but there's your answer for their investment strategy. But the value prop is not having to make a minimum investment of 500k and be a credited investor.
They've been working with the SEC for 4 years to get approval on their fund, so doesn't really concern me that he has two other founder roles on his LinkedIn.

He's surrounded himself with a pretty good group of scouts/advisors/analysts 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve been on the list for a while, it’s probably a decent idea (crowd funding, low buy in) but the success is obviously dependent on their track record and the two founders don't really have one. Also the fees are 6% of which I think 4% was marketing so they can go scratch.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
