Banking (e.g., Mercury, Stripe Atlas)

When you’re managing a venture capital fund or building the next big startup, there’s no time for clunky banking. Wire fees, slow approvals, manual reconciliations, endless compliance paperwork — that’s not where you want your team’s energy going. You need banking that moves as fast as you do.

At VCF.co, we know this world inside and out. Our software brings together the smartest VC banking tools on the market — think Mercury banking VC solutions, Stripe Atlas banking, and more — and wraps them into a seamless experience designed for today’s venture funds. Whether you’re a fund manager wiring a capital call or a founder tracking your first investor check, our platform helps you automate VC banking while staying fully compliant and transparent.

Banking should be an asset, not a headache. Let’s show you how we make that happen.

Why Venture Capital Banking Needs a New Approach

Traditional banks weren’t built for startups or venture funds. Ask anyone who’s tried opening a VC fund bank account at a legacy institution — it’s weeks of back-and-forth, with little understanding of your business model or needs.

And once your account is live? The real work begins:

    Chasing wire confirmations

  • check_circle

    Piecing together balances across multiple entities

  • check_circle

    Exporting statements manually

  • check_circle

    Wrestling with compliance reports

It’s a mess that slows down operations and frustrates investors.

Modern venture capital banking solves this. It offers fully digital onboarding, faster transactions, automated reporting, and tools that integrate with your fund’s existing workflows. The goal is simple: keep your money moving while giving you full visibility and control.

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.
