Why use an SPV or RUV?
Consolidate investors. Simplify your cap table.
As you approach a Series A or later round, SPVs and RUVs let you bring multiple check writers together into a single entity — keeping your cap table clean and giving the group enough collective weight to negotiate terms.
Cleaner Cap Table
Dozens of angel investors appear as one entity to the company — no more crowded capitalization tables at closing.
Consolidated Communications
The lead investor manages all investor updates and feedback, instead of each investor acting independently.
More Negotiating Power
Pooled capital and voting power can unlock board seats and term sheet leverage no individual investor could achieve alone.

How Cara Stone handles your SPV closing
Every SPV or RUV is its own securities offering. We structure yours to comply with federal and state law from the start — no shortcuts.
Regulation D, Rule 506(b)
Most SPVs and RUVs rely on this exemption, which limits the offering to accredited investors to avoid mandatory audit and disclosure requirements tied to non-accredited participants.
No general solicitation
We advise on maintaining proper pre-existing relationships with investors and guide you through accredited investor verification to avoid exposure under securities anti-fraud rules.
Material disclosure requirements
All due diligence, deal terms, and material facts about the underlying transaction must be shared with investors. We build this into every formation package.
One flat fee. Everything Included.
No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You know your cost before we start — so you can model it into your deal economics.
