Featured
Managing Cap Tables and Fundraising
Founders can maintain a clean cap table by using Roundtable's SPV feature, which simplifies the process of pooling business angels' investments.
Streamlining Fund Management
The platform supports fund managers in launching and running Luxembourg investment funds, reducing administrative tasks and providing operational support.
Empowering Community Leaders
Roundtable helps investment community leaders launch and manage their networks, enabling them to share deal flow and pool investments through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).
Access to More Deals
Individual investors can join investment communities, gaining access to a wider range of deals and benefiting from simplified investment processes.
Smaller Ticket Size Access
Investing in SPVs allows even smaller investors to gain exposure to high-value deals. With SPVs, the minimum investment threshold can be lower, enabling a broader range of investors to participate in attractive opportunities usually reserved for larger funds or accredited investors.
Enhanced Liquidity Options
SPVs can offer more flexibility when it comes to liquidity. Unlike traditional investment structures, investors in SPVs may have the chance to exit their position prior to the main holding period, providing a potential solution for those seeking faster returns or portfolio rebalancing.
Streamlined Cap Table Management
Managing a company's capitalization table (cap table) can be complex, especially with multiple investors. SPVs simplify this process by consolidating multiple investors into a single entity, reducing administrative overhead and making it easier to track ownership and manage investor relations.
Increased Bargaining Power
When investors pool their resources through an SPV, they can negotiate better terms and conditions in later funding rounds. This collective bargaining power can lead to more favorable deal structures, higher valuations, and stronger investor protections.
Definition of carried interest
Carried interest is a share of the profits from an investment partnership, typically paid to the fund manager as a performance incentive. In the world of private equity and venture capital, it is a key component of compensation for those who successfully generate returns for their investors. At Roundtable, we understand how carried interest aligns the interests of fund managers with those of their investors, fostering a collaborative environment within investment communities.
Calculation example
To illustrate, let's consider a hypothetical fund with a 20% carried interest structure. If the fund generates a total return of $100 million for its investors, the first $80 million would be distributed to the limited partners (LPs) according to their capital contributions. The remaining $20 million would be the profit above the initial investment, and 20% of this amount, or $4 million, would be the carried interest paid to the fund manager. This calculation highlights the potential rewards for successful investment strategies on Roundtable's platform.
Personalization of carried interest levels for co-investors
Roundtable recognizes that different investors and fund managers may have unique requirements and preferences. As such, our platform allows for the personalization of carried interest levels for co-investors in various deals and funds. This flexibility enables tailored agreements that cater to the specific needs of each partnership, ensuring a fair distribution of rewards while promoting growth and collaboration within the European and international investment landscape.
