About Vauban

Written by the company


Vauban from Carta is the easiest way to ramp up as a venture capitalist.

We offer institutional grade SPVs, co-investment and fund vehicles for GPs at all stages of the journey- from your first syndicate to operating a billion-dollar venture fund.

Our end-to-end digital platform is supported by over 200+ fund specialists to automate your back-office so you can focus on what matters: finding the next unicorn & building investor relationships.

Backed by Carta, the leading fintech infrastructure company, we’ll be there to support you from fundraising through exit. Investors on our multi-jurisdiction platform have raised global investments for companies including Revolut, Bolt and SpaceX.

With over $2.5bn deployed through our platform, we automate your legals, financial reporting, banking & LP onboarding.

Syndicate

Syndicate is your own private investment club to share deals with your network and let them co-invest on a deal by deal basis with our global suite of SPVs.

Whether you want to join forces to meet the minimum ticket or make sure you don't let that follow-on allocation go to waste, Syndicate lets you pool capital from your network in clicks.
Syndicate is powered by Vauban’s Wealth Containers; we’ve abstracted the complexity of SPV structuring in our end‑to‑end platform.
Do more, bigger deals.

Venture Funds

Launching a VC Fund was traditionally a cumbersome and expensive process filled with paperwork and wax seals, liaising with multiple providers whilst paying the hourly rate of lawyers, notaries, registries, bankers & administrators. ‍ We have digitised and automated the process to make it 10 times easier, faster & cheaper.

Launch your Venture fund the new way.
Set up your fund, raise from your LPs, issue capital calls and more – all sorted in one beautiful fully‑integrated platform.

Tailor your fund to your needs: investment thesis, liquidity mechanics, waterfall, carried interest etc.

Fundraise from your LPs by giving your investors the experience they deserve: KYC/AML, investor certification, investment execution – all streamlined and digital.

Run your fund with our transparent and easy‑to‑understand investor reporting. Vauban takes care of the back office work so you can focus on investing in great companies.

Turn-key SPV creation

We have used Vauban several time to create an SPV for private investments. The process was efficient and the support team super responsive.

Easy SPV creation

We recently used Vauban to create an SPV for a new investment. The process was seamless and we were very well supported throughout. Should the need arise we will definitely use Vauban in the future.

SPV for UK based investment

I used Vauban to create an SPV for my syndicate to invest in a UK startup in April 2021. Everything worked very well, they were very professional and responsive, and we completed the investment successfully and timely. They successfully managed national and international investors within the same syndicate, private retail and funds, EIS and non.

I rate their service very highly, and will use it again in the future.

Three syndicate SPVs in three weeks. Easy!

We completed three syndicate SPVs, end to end, in three weeks using Vauban. Onboarding 20+ investors, some who were trusts or funds, and getting through KYC, target and syndicate docs, and funding in that short time is testament to the ease of use of the Vauban platform and the support of the Vauban team.

I understand that the version of the platform since released has more functionality to handle particularities relating to investor structures and data room management, so all the better.

Having previously been through the arduous process of creating a traditional, regulated venture fund, this is how it should be done... Big kudos to the Vauban team. We'll be back for more!

Product makes so much sense, and great team

Setting up structures is like re-inventing the wheel. Every situation is different, but the underlying mechanics remain the same. Hence terribly glad to have come across Vauban's offering, which is a great way to digitalize that entire process. I can only recommend the team given professionalism, speed, and can-do-attitude.

Great all in one service: Fund setup and admin services

Upon recommendation from another fund, we decided to use Vauban's services after an exhaustive search of other fund administration services.

We have not been disappointed. Vauban's end to end services allowed us to easily set up the legal documents for our fund and investor agreements. The transition to the fund admin side has been smooth, and we look forward to working closely with Vauban in the future.

Efficient & professional fund administrator

We have been working with Vauban for a period of 2 years now. The team is very professional and quick to respond to queries. They know exactly what they are doing - we would recommend them to any fund manager looking to establish themselves.

Vauban 5 STAR Service.

Vauban has gone way above and beyond to help get our deal across the line. While they are still in startup mode, and there are some minor annoying 'rough edges' with the platform, they more than make up for that in terms of service. We had a particularly complicated set of circumstances and they were incredibly helpful in setting up a structure that enabled us to get our deal closed. Could not be more happy!

Demystifying structuring

Vauban was so convenient that some of my partners literally couldn’t believe it was real. Their staff are excellent, friendly, patient, knowledgeable and extremely willing to help navigate an otherwise confusing and opaque process. I can’t thank them enough
