Ongoing Compliance & Governance

Running a venture capital fund isn’t just about sourcing great deals and building value. You’re also expected to meet an ever-growing list of compliance requirements, governance best practices, and regulatory expectations — all while keeping your investors confident and informed.

At VCF.co, we know this is where many fund managers feel the squeeze. You’re juggling fundraising, portfolio management, LP relationships, and strategic decisions. Staying fully on top of ongoing compliance VC demands can easily take a back seat, until it’s too late.

That’s why our VC governance services are built to lighten the load and sharpen your edge. We help you stay fully aligned with evolving legal frameworks, investor expectations, and fund governance principles — so you can focus on what you do best.

Why Ongoing Compliance and Governance Matters More Than Ever

The regulatory landscape for VC funds is getting more complex by the year. Globalization, increased scrutiny from regulators, and higher LP expectations all contribute to a rising bar for fund oversight.

Here’s why building robust fund compliance management into your operations isn’t optional anymore:

  • Regulators now expect strong compliance oversight venture capital practices — not reactive fixes after problems arise.
  • LPs are scrutinizing venture capital fund governance closely when deciding where to allocate capital.
  • Governance failures can erode reputation and destroy fundraising momentum.
  • Strong compliance frameworks protect you from costly legal missteps and disputes.
  • Good governance actually improves fund performance through better decision-making and accountability.

In short: thoughtful, ongoing compliance is no longer just about ticking boxes. It’s a core part of building a trusted and resilient fund.

And that’s where we come in.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions About VCF.co

What is VCF.co?

VCF.co is a streamlined platform that enables entrepreneurs, investors, and fund managers to quickly set up venture capital funds using special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The platform simplifies legal, compliance, and back-office operations so you can focus on investing.

Who should use VCF.co?

VCF.co is ideal for angel investors, syndicate leads, startup accelerators, emerging fund managers, and family offices looking to pool capital for venture deals without the complexity of launching a traditional VC fund.

How does VCF.co differ from forming a traditional VC fund?

Traditional VC funds involve complex, costly, and time-consuming legal and compliance processes. VCF.co offers a faster, more affordable alternative through SPVs—letting you form a deal-by-deal fund with limited overhead and streamlined administration.

What is an SPV and how does it work?

An SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) is a legal entity created to pool investor capital for a specific investment. With VCF.co, you can set up an SPV in minutes, onboard LPs, collect funds, issue equity, and manage distributions—all within a compliant framework.

Legal, Compliance & Investor Onboarding

Is VCF.co compliant with SEC regulations?

Yes. VCF.co structures SPVs to comply with SEC exemptions, typically using Regulation D Rule 506(b) or 506(c), depending on your fundraising needs. We also help you maintain proper KYC, AML, and investor accreditation processes.

Can I accept non-accredited investors through the platform?

Most SPVs created on VCF.co follow exemptions that require accredited investors only. However, we can advise on structures that may accommodate non-accredited investors under specific frameworks.

Does VCF.co provide legal documentation?

Yes. VCF.co offers customizable, attorney-drafted legal templates including operating agreements, PPMs, subscription docs, and investor disclosures. For complex deals, custom legal support is available.

How are investors onboarded?

Investors receive a branded invite, go through a seamless digital onboarding flow, complete KYC/AML, and sign subscription docs electronically. Funds can be wired or ACH-transferred directly into the SPV’s escrow account.

Fund Administration, Fees & Operations

What does VCF.co charge?

VCF.co typically charges a setup fee per SPV, plus an annual administration fee based on assets under management (AUM) or number of LPs. Custom pricing is available for high-volume users, accelerators, and family offices.

Who handles distributions and capital calls?

VCF.co manages capital calls, waterfall calculations, LP distributions, and tax reporting (including K-1s). You maintain full visibility and control while we automate the back office.

Can I track my SPV's performance in real time?

Yes. VCF.co provides a real-time dashboard with capital deployed, investor commitments, cap table ownership, and return metrics. You and your LPs get transparency at every step.

Does VCF.co offer banking or custodial services?

We partner with leading custodians and escrow providers for fund transfers and capital custody. Your SPV receives its own account with segregated funds and institutional-grade security.
