Using a different tool like SPVs is really something that a lot of founders have taken to, and I really see SPVs becoming the new way to raise money, having multiple SPVs, or one.

If you're an Angel investor, you could start your own syndicate powered through SPVs. Here at LAUNCH, we could not be more pleased with our partnership with the team at Assure. They power my syndicate. Assure SPVs are the back end that I rely on to get all of these syndicates done. 

Assure is going to light the way for a lot of non-accredited and underrepresented syndicate leads and emerging fund managers to blaze a path in venture and have a supportive partner along the way with them.

Fortunately, there’s folks like [Assure], that have made it easier for managers to administer, so they can focus more on what they should be doing, which is investing in companies, finding those companies, and helping those entrepreneurs.

What I'm seeing is that a lot of the Next Gen investors using SPVs to build out a track record. They invest in very specific deals in order to build out a track record and be able to raise a fund from outside LPs later down the road.

There's articles that I've read about how you don't make any money on your first fund. And they're popular articles. And I'm always thinking at the end, "Oh, you missed SPVs. That's the way to do it".
