Setting up a fund in Europe used to take €200k+ (legal/tax included) and months of waiting. We built Roundtable to change that. With our EUVECA license, emerging fund managers can launch a compliant EU fund in days, not months. Market to professional and non-professional investors across Europe, onboard LPs digitally, manage capital calls and distributions, all from one platform. US LPs welcome too.
Launching an investment fund in Europe is painfully complex: - Need an AIFM license (€200k/year minimum - legal/tax included) - 2-3 months of bureaucracy - Can only market to professional investors in your country
This means only large institutions can afford to launch funds, while emerging managers are locked out.
Roundtable is fund-as-a-service infrastructure that handles everything: - We are your AIFM - Legal docs included (LPA, Sub Agreement, PRIIPS KID) - Launch in days, not months - Market to professional + non-professional investors across EU - Digital LP onboarding, capital calls, distributions - US LP support available
Why we built this Setting up a fund in Europe meant €200k/year minimum for an AIFM license (legal/tax included), and months of bureaucracy, before making a single investment. Emerging managers were being locked out by infrastructure designed for billion-dollar institutions. We built Roundtable to change that.
What we're most excited about With our EUVECA license, funds can be marketed compliantly to non-professional and professional investors across all EU countries, including US LPs. Most platforms still lock you into professional-investor-only distribution in your home country. We don't.
What we need from you Your honest feedback! Specifically: - Fund managers: Would this solve your problems? - LPs: Would you feel comfortable investing through this? - Anyone: What are we missing?
Thanks for checking us out! Will be here all day answering questions.
I didn’t know it takes so much money to launch a fund. The EU is very inefficient when it comes to bureaucracy.
Congrats on the product and the launch 🔥 I'll be saving your product for the future 🤩
I’ve used Roundtable several times, both as a fund manager and as a startup founder. It makes the whole process smooth, the product is insanely easy to use, it frees founders & GPs from legal work, and it helps with investor communication. The team is really strong: Evan is a killer in sales, Julien is a killer on product, and the rest of the team has been very reactive to questions and makes every process smooth. Long live Roundtable in Europe.
This is a big unlock for emerging managers in Europe. Fund setup going from months to days with the EUVECA license is huge. Are you planning to expand beyond EU jurisdictions at some point?
Congrats for the launch, been using your product and got great support from your team!
Excellent tool ! I used it to manage the funding of my own startup, Octopus Community => smooth, efficient, fast, user friendly and super customer support
Wow, interesting product. How did you manage to get through all the European bureaucracy?
This is what happens when builders actually understand the problem they're solving.
The €200k/year AIFM barrier was never about protecting investors. It was about keeping emerging managers out. Roundtable just kicked that door open.
I'm a copywriter who works with founders, fund managers, and course creators, and the first thing I thought reading this was: the messaging almost undersells it. The real hook isn't "launch in days." It's that you've unlocked non professional investor distribution across all of Europe, something most platforms still can't offer.
That's not a feature. That's a market expansion story.
Quick question for you: are you working with any emerging GPs who need help communicating their fund thesis to non-professional investors? That's a very specific copywriting challenge, and one I'd love to dig into.
Congrats on the launch. This one's got legs.
First fund customer here! European regulations are impossible to navigate and Roundtable is the only fund admin to make it bearable :) The team is reactive at all times.
What's the reason behind the name? Love the fact that it focuses on the EU sector. Congrats on the launch@julien_fissette!
The legal/compliance stack for fund launches in Europe has been a blocker for years. Nice to see someone actually building around it rather than just consulting on it. How are you handling reporting requirements for cross-border distributions?
On top of a very well-thought product, there is also skilled people behind like @alexis_guinebretiere to provide you with a seamless and insightful experience. Roundtable is an evidence!
