Usually angels invest in an SPV right? So technically the SPV holds your shares, they hold shares of the SPV, and you only have one investor?



Not in the startups I'm familiar with. You have individuals investing anywhere from 10K to 100K+.


SPV may take $10k from 50 investors and then make one $500k investment. Then the company as SPOC but the network effect of a larger group.

And maybe that investor group makes many SPV, so each player is making 10, $10k plays rather one $100k play


Dread it, run from it, encapsulation always arrive.


Forgive my ignorance. "encapsulation" is a new term for me in this context. What does it mean?


Personally, I feel like many/all software principals can be applied to other subjects, and it has a tendency to make things simpler.

Sometimes it's a joke, but other times it is quite fitting.
