Unlocking Higher Returns: Why Funds Outperform Solo Investing

As an angel investor, you know the thrill of finding a promising startup or closing a real estate deal. But let me ask you: are you maximizing your returns while minimizing your risks?

In today’s fast-moving market, funds consistently outperform individual investments, and here’s why:

1. Diversification for Safer Returns

Investing directly in a handful of startups or properties puts all your eggs in one basket. When you invest in a fund, you’re accessing a diverse portfolio of opportunities across sectors, geographies, and stages of growth.

Example: Instead of betting on one climate-tech startup, my fund gives you exposure to a dozen game-changing companies like Twelve, Zauben, and Avalo.

This approach not only spreads risk but ensures that even if a few ventures underperform, the winners more than make up for it.

2. Access to Better Deals

As a solo investor, your network is limited to what you can personally cultivate. Funds operate at a whole new level.
At Atlas Capital, we screen over 1,000 companies a year and partner with elite networks like Aera VC and the B Team to get early access to high-potential ventures. Many of these opportunities are simply not available to individual investors until it’s too late.

Think of it like this: While individual investors see the finished product, funds get in while it’s still being built.

3. Time is Money

Let’s face it—due diligence, monitoring, and mentoring take time. Investing through a fund means outsourcing all of that to a team of experts who live and breathe this space.

  • We handle the heavy lifting: Market research, financial modeling, and legal work.
  • You enjoy the upside while focusing on what you do best.

4. Expertise That Multiplies Capital

Would you rather trust your money to gut instincts or a proven strategy?

My team has over a decade of experience navigating complex markets like climate tech and adaptation. With our data-driven frameworks and extensive deal flow, we’re positioned to spot opportunities that many angel investors overlook.

5. The Power of Scale

When you invest individually, your resources are finite. Funds, however, pool capital from multiple investors, enabling us to:

  • Negotiate better terms.
  • Invest in larger rounds with greater influence.
  • Access top-tier co-investments with industry leaders.

Why Now?

In the next decade, sectors like climate tech, AI, and industrial innovation will drive exponential growth. The Atlas Adaptation Fund is uniquely positioned to capitalize on these trends while contributing to solutions for climate resilience.

If you’re serious about making your money work harder and smarter, let’s talk about how my fund can help you achieve your goals.

Don’t just invest—invest wisely.
