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.

DIY convert, seriously impressed

I stumbled across Vauban, after we'd been looking to do a pre-seed, and it became pretty evident that in the current climate, we'd have to manage this ourselves.

From the introductory calls with Sacha, to Ian answering my endless queries, and the ease of use of the system, it was seamless. I'm now a BIG advocate of Do-It-Yourself, and we'll be back!

Shockingly Badr service and would never recommend anyone to use these guys. The sales staff lied about complaince to try and move the deal down the line and then the support to identify this issue was very weak. All the team tried to brush it off after wasting our time for over a week. We have still not had a clear answer on our query.

Will be taking this further.

Great service, great team

It was a pleasure to work with Vauban. Their platform eased all the process, and their team is very helpful and reactive in case there's anything going wrong (as it always does...)

Vauban service review

Superb service and really quick to respond whenever (inevitably) there are administrative issues which is far better than the incumbent offerings such as Assure or Angel List. Highly recommend

I have used Vauban a few times now for putting together SPVs for seed stage investments. Their product is easy to use and the most economical in the market. Moreover, the people I have been dealing with in the firm are just so friendly and helpful. They are always just a call away which made the entire deal-making experience much more smooth a pleasant! I will continue to use it for sure.

Viva Vauban

Launched a VC fund with Vauban: great experience, great team! They incorporate entities, set up bank accounts, arrange signatures, and sort a lot of other admin that would otherwise be expensive and complicated.

Owe a lot to the team - thank you!

Impeccable all along

Rarely do I proactively want to speak highly about a service provider as I do with Vauban.
Excellent product, excellent service, both before and after sale.
We will definitely use Vauban's services again in the future, and can't wait for them to add more to their already awesome offering. Go Vauban!

Great platform + Great people

We have set several containers on Vauban's platform since july 2020.
The platform has improved tremendously since then and is now close to be entirely seemless on a complex service to provide.
The overall experience compared to doing it with a law firm + audit + digital record of transaction is a no brainer. We stopped considering any other alternatives.
Team has always been super helpfull and responsive (Ben, Maria, Arik, Jaime etc.)

Best option in the market right now

Excellent communications with the team and best in class platform. Easy to understand user interface and solid support through the whole process. Fees were better than any alternative and experience was great, we went with Vauban again after our first experience and will be sticking to it moving forward.

Vauban makes angel investing in Germany ok

Vauban made the pain of accepting investments into a German company bearable. Without their Founder SPV I cannot imagine how difficult it would have been to have all the non-German investors do power of attorney and apostille and all that nonsense. The Vauban dashboard makes it pretty easy to manage all the investors.

Only problem was that they sent their own Power of Attorney to Germany via regular post, which then got lost and kinda delayed our deal a bit. If you use them, then insist on them sending the PoA by registered post or courier.

Given how challenging it can be to invest in Germany, we’re grateful our SPV was able to help your investors and make the process easier.

It's a shame the posting issue detracted from the experience and offer our apologies again. Rest assured nothing leaves our office that isn't tracked first class anymore!

We wish you all the best in making your company a great success, and hope you'll think of us come future rounds.

Easy SPV creation

We have used Vauban several times to create an SPV for private investments. Efficient process, quick and super responsive deal support team. Fair cost structure.

Vauban works for German deals: Notarization and payment to German account worked flawlessly.
