in a blog post on Medium that it has launched roll up vehicles (RUVs) for India.
“With RUVs, founders will be able to add a group of accredited, value-add investors as a single new entry to their cap table with zero friction,” the company said in a blog post.
Roll up vehicles are a type of special purpose vehicle (SPV) designed for founders that want to raise capital from individual operators and angels with a single cap table entry.
Traditional SPVs often require a stand-in investor to take on additional duties by acting as the fund lead to avoid conflict of interest issues for the founder.
Roll up vehicles are designed to not need a stand-in investor and can be created and entirely managed by the founder.
