# Introduction

#### **Firstly, what is a syndicate?**

*Imagine you want a slice of pizza from a new place, but they only deliver whole pies. You don’t know what to do — so you ask three friends if they'd like to share. Two of them want one slice each, and the third one wants three slices of the pizza — that works out perfectly for you!*

*You order a six-slice pie and split the price based on how many slices each person eats.*

**In a way, a syndicate is a group of people who pool capital to invest in something of common interest based on their investing capacity.**

*StationX gives you the tools to run such syndicates like a pro.*

*There are two words you have to familiarise yourself with on our app:*

* **Spaces** = A dedicated syndicate home page where members can explore and view deals
  * [Check out Open Alpha’s space](https://www.stationx.network/space/openalpha)
* **Stations** = Station is a dedicated investment page for presenting a deal and funding it

*Leads can create as many deals (stations) as they like within their space to raise funds for opportunities and share investment access to their syndicate members.*
