SPV setup fees
- Fixed cost for a given SPV.
- Paid to AngelList to cover certain back-office operations for the lifetime of your SPV (as agreed to under your fund administration agreement).
State regulatory fees
- State and provincial regulatory filings are required by securities regulators in the US and Canada. In the U.S., state regulatory fees are known as blue sky filing costs. States and provinces may increase their regulatory fees year-to-year.
- AngelList collects these fees and pays them to the state security regulators to cover the cost of the required notice filings.
To learn more about how state regulatory fees are incurred, read our Help Center article.
To keep costs manageable for SPVs, AngelList caps SPV setup and regulatory fees at 10% of the total SPV size, if it meets the minimum. If the minimum size is met and the SPV setup fees and state regulatory fees are above 10% of the capital raised, AngelList will cover the excess.

How are follow-on and sidecar SPVs determined?
We consider an SPV a follow-on if your syndicate has previously run an SPV into the same company.
We consider an SPV a sidecar if you are making an investment into the company alongside a fund that you run on AngelList. The fund must have invested at least $10k into the company in order for the SPV to be eligible for sidecar pricing.
In both follow-on and sidecar scenarios, setup fees for the SPVs are discounted to $5k.
Examples
Let’s assume that you are running an SPV to make an international investment, and the SPV raises $100,000 from your LPs.
