SPV & Compartment Structure

TheAngel Tokenisation Architecture

Below is a simplified overview of TheAngel’s legal and technological model:

Startup Equity

SPV or Luxembourg Securitisation Compartment

Tokenised Investment Notes (AMC) with ISIN

Investors Purchase Tokens

Tokens Trade During Liquidity Windows

This structure ensures:

  • Legal clarity

  • Full segregation of assets

  • Regulatory alignment

  • Ease of investment and transfer

The Role of SPVs & Securitisation Funds

TheAngel uses two complementary models depending on jurisdiction and raise size:

1. SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle)

Used for:

  • Smaller raises

  • Jurisdictions without securitisation requirements

  • Simpler, fast-to-deploy structures

Benefits

  • Clean separation between startup and investors

  • Startup issues equity once → SPV holds and represents it

  • SPV issues tokens, not the startup directly

  • Simplifies your cap table


2. Luxembourg Securitisation Fund (via Filedgr)

Used for:

  • Larger rounds

  • Institutional-grade compliance

  • Multi-investor, multi-asset structures

  • Needs for cross-border regulation

Key Features of a Luxembourg Securitisation Fund

(Ref: Filedgr documentation — )

  • Unlimited compartments (each startup gets its own)

  • Fully bankruptcy-remote structure

  • Assets legally isolated from other compartments

  • EU-compliant, tax-efficient

  • Investment notes receive unique ISINs

  • Exempt from AIFMD in certain configurations

  • Built for alternative assets, including tokenised equity

Why Luxembourg?

Luxembourg is the global leader in securitisation and fund vehicles, providing:

  • Regulatory trust

  • International pass-portability

  • Compatibility with institutional custody

  • Alignment with EU frameworks (ATAD III, DAC6, ILR, BEPS)

This is infrastructure normally accessible only to hedge funds, private equity firms, and financial institutions.

TheAngel makes it accessible to startups.
