Common questions

How can Vauban help me launch my VC Fund?

Launching a VC Fund was traditionally a cumbersome and expensive process filled with paperwork and wax seals, liaising with multiple providers whilst paying the hourly rate of lawyers, notaries, registries, bankers & administrators.

We have digitised and automated the process to make it 10 times easier, faster & cheaper.

Note: In most countries, you need to be regulated to operate a Venture Capital fund. We do not assist with that regulatory process but can offer various solutions through partnerships.

What's included?

Our pricing includes everything you need to launch your VC Fund: legal documents, fund set-up, bank account, on-going administration, investor onboarding, accounting & financial reporting.

Note: In most countries, you need to be regulated to operate a Venture Capital fund. We do not assist with that regulatory process but can offer various solutions through partnerships.

What will be the legal structure of my VC Fund?

Your VC fund will be a limited partnership.

It will be a transparent vehicle, meaning the fund will not pay taxes. Investors will be taxed as if they invested directly in the underlying companies.

How flexible is Vauban's structuring process compared to a lawyer?

During our online structuring process, you can play with more than 130 variables to create your optimal fund structure. This is enough to satisfy the most exotic requirements of your investors.

With Vauban, when you change a variable, you'll see it instantly reflected on your Limited Partnership Agreement and Offering Memorandum. This allows your investors' negotiations to take hours instead of months or years. It is robust, secure & efficient.

In what jurisdictions can Vauban structure my Fund? 

We can set up a VC fund in the UK, Luxembourg, and in the Cayman Islands.

Note: In most countries, you need to be regulated to operate a Venture Capital fund. We do not assist with that regulatory process but can offer various solutions through partnerships.
