Common Questions
Everything you need to know about investing through Roundtable.
By using a founder SPV, you can:
- keep a clean cap table,
- simplify governance,
- reduce costs related to cap table software and operations, including legal fees for future fundraising,
- leverage more operator investors to collect even small checks from high-value individuals.
- Direct-like investment: in case of a purchase offer, each investor can sell as many shares as they want - investors are no longer locked into an SPV!
- Increased liquidity (subject to founder approval):
- Within the SPV
- Outside the SPV
- Reduced administrative burden: investors can focus on supporting founders while making cap table management easier for the founding team.
- Helps you maintain a clean cap table and gain stronger bargaining power with VC funds in later funding rounds.
- Smaller ticket size: investors can access deals even with smaller ticket sizes.
In most cases, the SPV set up with Roundtable can accept US investors.
Limits
While Roundtable may onboard US investors (provided that no marketing actions have been undertaken in the US), there are certain limits.
All investors (including US investors) are encouraged to seek tax advice before making any investment.
PFIC
In certain circumstances, investing in a non-US SPV may represent a significant tax or administrative burden. Indeed, such SPV could qualify as a Passive Foreign Investment Company (”PFIC”) under US tax law. US investors who are shareholders of a PFIC are generally required to file a US Form 8621 for each tax year. This is the sole responsibility of the investor.
In addition, US law provides for deterrent tax treatments when investments are made through a PFIC, which can potentially diminish the investor's return. Certain elections (e.g. Qualifying Electing Fund) can be made by the investor, but Roundtable is not able to assist with this.
Luckily, we understand that our Luxembourg SPV and some of our French SPVs (société civile) are likely to be treated as partnerships in the US (although no check-the-box election will be made), and the PFIC issue should thus not materialize.
As always, you should consult your tax advisor prior to making an investment in a non-US SPV. For more information, you may consult the following resources:
