Angel investor Jason Calacanis, an early backer of Uber and Robinhood, is seeking to raise tens of millions of dollars for a stake in Twitter as part of Elon Musk’s $ 44 billion agreement to buy the social media company. <\/p>\n
“We are now collecting interest to invest in Twitter with Elon Musk’s plan to take it private,” Calacanis wrote in a message soliciting funds from his network of high net worth individuals. CNBC viewed Calacanis’s email about him to prospective investors. <\/p>\n
The minimum investment required to participate is $ 250,000, Calacanis wrote, adding that the fees he collects for the deal will total about $ 18,000. As manager of the fund, he’s also asking for 10% of the carry, or the gains that come from the investment. <\/p>\n
Calacanis is a longtime friend and fan of Musk, often voicing his support for the Tesla CEO on his podcasts, This Week in Startups and The All-In Podcast. Calacanis even joined Musk last year in New York, when the celebrity CEO was the guest host on “Saturday Night Live.”<\/p>\n
