A Partnership, Not a Service
Ever since we launched Sage, our angel colleagues around the globe have asked us if we could help them set up and manage an RBF fund. But Sage is not a back-office vendor; we are investors with a proven model. We do want to see more angels deploying RBF because we believe strongly in the benefits to both founders and investors. So we structured this program to enable angel groups to participate in deals alongside us, with full infrastructure support and no operational burden on your team.
Our team has years of experience in SPV and Fund administration; putting it to work to benefit our partners
How It Works
Key Steps | Description |
|---|---|
Sign MOU | A simple agreement to formalize partnership and roles. |
Deal Management | Sage handles everything: SPV formation, legal documents, investor onboarding, regulatory filings, monthly collections, quarterly distributions, and annual tax returns. |
Fundraising | Sage invests a minimum of $100K and angel investors have the opportunity to invest the remainder. |
Deal Screening | Angels introduce candidates and Sage does the heavy lifting - screening, pricing and due diligence. |
Leadership Onboarding | Sage provides screening criteria and deal qualification guidance. |
Management Earnings | You serve as SPV Manager and share in carried interest. Sage serves as Administrator. |
Benefits to Your Angel Group
Regular Distributions
Faster liquidity of RBF deal keeps members engaged and encourages regular investing activity as all their capital isn't locked up indefinitely.
Real Economic Upside
Your group earns carried interest as SPV Manager, not just a referral fee or a token of acknowledgement.
New Product
Sage allows you to offer a new deal type while eliminating the need for your group to hire new staff, build systems or develop RBF expertise from scratch.
Co-Branded Program
All communications and marketing are co-branded so members see this as an extension of what the group does, not an outside product you're selling them.
