# Founders FAQ

### Founder FAQs

<details>

<summary>What is TheAngel?</summary>

TheAngel is a tokenised angel investment marketplace where founders raise capital faster using a regulated, transparent, and liquid investment structure.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does tokenisation work?</summary>

Your equity is transferred into a regulated SPV or Luxembourg securitisation compartment. That equity is then represented as tradeable digital tokens, which investors can buy.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do tokens sit on my cap table?</summary>

No. That’s the advantage.

The SPV/compartment holds the equity and appears as a single line on your cap table.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How much equity do I need to give up?</summary>

Only what you choose to tokenise.

Most founders tokenise between 5–15% of their company for a pre-seed or seed round.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How long does tokenisation take?</summary>

Typically:

* SPV structure: 3–10 days
* Luxembourg compartment: 7–14 days

Much faster than traditional legal structuring.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What documents do I need?</summary>

* Certificate of incorporation
* Cap table
* Founder IDs
* Pitch deck
* Basic financials

</details>

<details>

<summary>Who sets my valuation?</summary>

You set your target valuation.

TheAngel provides guidance, benchmarks, and optional valuation support but the founder is the final decision-maker.

</details>

<summary>How do I get listed?</summary>

Submit your application → KYC/verification → content review → tokenomics setup → listing published.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When do I receive funds?</summary>

After investor payments clear and token issuance is confirmed.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens after my raise?</summary>

You will:

* Submit quarterly updates
* Participate in liquidity windows
* Engage with your investor community
* Track all activity in your founder dashboard

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I raise another round later?</summary>

Tokenisation does not limit future fundraising.

VCs and angels can invest normally in later rounds.
