    FAQ

    Do I qualify as an ERA?

    Generally, private fund advisers with less than $150M in US private fund AUM (or solely venture capital fund advisers) qualify. We run the analysis and file Form ADV Part 1A as required.

    Can you support one-off SPVs?

    Yes — SPV formation records, sub docs, closing checklists, capital calls, and distributions on InvestPrep, priced per SPV or bundled.

    When should I convert from ERA to RIA?

    When you cross $150M in private fund AUM, take on non-VC/non-private-fund clients, or want to market more broadly. We handle the transition end-to-end.
