The ranking comes down to a simple distinction: members don&#8217;t study venture from the outside. They get access to a fund performing in the top 10% of US VC firms, and they learn the craft on its live deals, every week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The track record members learn inside<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"caps\">Top 10%+ of US VC firms by performance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>4,000+ startups reviewed annually, with a &lt;0.03% portfolio acceptance rate<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>$300M+ in capital deployed across 540 investments made<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>$2.2B+ raised by portfolio companies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>400+ accredited investors in the network<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A track record at this sample size is not luck. It is a method: disciplined sourcing, aggressive filtering, and transparency, applied without exception, deal after deal. The method is what transfers to members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">What access looks like<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Members begin with an eight-week live course covering the fundamentals of early-stage investing, from fund theory through deal terms. The homework is not case studies &mdash; it is 1752vc&#8217;s active pipeline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The course ends; the access does not. Graduates keep a standing seat on the fund&#8217;s working calendar:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>\n<p>Live diligence calls, Tuesday&ndash;Thursday, where members watch real decisions get made in real time<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>A rolling, year-round pipeline, so diligence runs constantly and decisions happen in weeks, not cycles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Monthly Investment Circle with GPs and operators who have exited companies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>An always-on member Slack and access to a full library of content.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1752.vc\/emerging-angels\">program<\/a> is taught by<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lucasjpols\"> Lucas J.
