ReIntro: KYC vendor you mentioned last week

Alex, Maya —

Alex, you mentioned on the last office hours that you're evaluating KYC vendors for your onboarding flow.

Maya is the founder of LendCore— they ship embedded KYC for fintech lenders, already live with 3 Series A companies. I've seen what they built. It's the right fit.

Maya, Alex is CTO at PayStream, Series A, moving fast.

I'll leave you both to take it from here.

How it works

Three steps. Revenue on the other side.

Build your profile

45-min Profile Setup call with INSART. We learn your product, ICP, deal size, and what a good customer looks like for you.

Your live profile goes into the directory same day.

We match and introduce

Our matching engine scores every other founder against your ICP. We pick the top 2–3. We write the intro email. We send it.

You don't write a single cold line. Ever.

You close the deal

A warm email lands in both inboxes. They're already briefed on what you do. You show up and sell.

Average: first conversation within 3–5 days of intro.

That's it. No forums. No Discord. No events.

Syndicate is a matchmaking engine wrapped in a member directory. The output is revenue, not community.

The honest version

If we get you one conversation that closes — and we've done it in 2–3 weeks for everyone in the cohort so far — the math is over. Membership is a rounding error.

The real question isn't price. It's whether you trust us to send the right email to the right person. The Profile Setup call exists to answer that question — both ways.

What members actually say.

Identities anonymized on the public page (you'd do the same). Members see full attribution once inside.

We'd been cold-emailing for four months. INSART sent one intro. We closed in two weeks. The recipient said yes before we even pitched.

The Profile Setup call alone was worth the membership. Bohdan asked questions our investors never asked. We rewrote our positioning the same day.

I joined for the intros. I stayed because nobody in the room is selling anything fake. Every founder in the directory has real product and a real budget.

Founder

Quick answers.

What does the product actually do?+

Syndicate is a matchmaking platform. You build a profile (on a 45-min call with INSART). We match you to founders who fit your ICP. We write a warm intro email and send it to both parties. You take the call and close the deal.

There's no forum, no chat, no events. The output is a pipeline of real conversations with real buyers.

How fast do I get my first intro?+

Most members get their first intro within 3–5 days of the Profile Setup call.

We match you to 2–3 founders, write the email, and it goes out within a week. After that it's between you and them.

What if you can't find a match for me?+

We tell you on the Profile Setup call before you pay. We've turned away companies that don't have a fit in the current pool — that's the only honest answer.

If you join and intros stall, you cancel. We'd rather lose a member than burn the trust of the rest of the network with a bad intro.

What if I don't close a deal?+

You pay for membership, not per intro. If you're not getting value, you cancel — no contract.

We have no commission. Your success doesn't cost you more. But if you're building real product for fintech buyers, the first 1–2 intros typically cover years of subscription.

Will my competitors be in there?+

Probably not. We screen for direct overlap before letting anyone in. If we see a clash, we tell both sides and let you choose.

Worth noting: 'competitor' is usually a smaller worry than founders think. Most fintech wins are decided on relationship and execution, not feature parity.

How is this different from a Slack group or YC's startup network?+

Slack groups optimize for chat. We optimize for warm intros that convert. Different output, different design.

Accelerator networks are for portfolio companies and bound by stage/cohort. Syndicate is open to fintech founders at any stage — and we don't take equity.

Who is already in the pool?+

50–100+ fintech B2B founders: lending, payments, wealthtech, regtech, embedded finance, risk. Pre-seed to Series B. Mostly US, Canada, UK, EU.

All vetted by INSART. All have real product and active buying or selling intent — we verify this before they get in.

How much does it cost?+

$149/month or $1,490/year when billed annually. No per-intro fees, no commission.

Cancel anytime. We walk through exact terms on your Profile Setup call before you pay.

Is this only for fintech companies?+

Right now: yes — fintech founders and companies that sell to fintech.

If you sell B2B to fintech (compliance tooling, data infra, dev tools, etc.), you're likely a fit. If you're unsure, email Bohdan and we'll tell you in 10 minutes.

Do I have to be a customer to be in the directory?+

Yes. The directory only contains paying members — that's what keeps signal high and tire-kickers out.

If you're not ready to join, the Profile Setup call is still free. We'll tell you whether the current pool is a fit and you can decide from there.

Who is INSART?+

A fintech product studio founded ~20 years ago. We've shipped 150+ fintech products with US, UK and EU teams — payments, lending, custody, risk, KYC, WealthTech.

Syndicate is what happens when a studio that built the products opens its rolodex to the founders building them next.

Why are you doing this?+

Most of our portfolio founders kept asking the same thing: 'do you know someone who needs what I'm selling?' We always did. We started writing the intros by hand. This is the product version.

We make money on membership, full stop. We do not take equity, we do not take commission, we do not sell your data.
