Why Use a Delaware Series LLC for Syndicating Deals?

We use a Delaware Series LLC structure because it offers the most efficient, scalable, and investor-friendly way to syndicate private market deals. Compared to traditional SPVs or standalone LLCs, the Series model brings a number of clear advantages:

✅ 1. Deal-by-Deal Flexibility
Each Series acts as a standalone SPV — fully ring-fenced from other deals. This lets us structure each opportunity with its own terms, investor list, and economics, while still operating under a unified legal and administrative umbrella.

✅ 2. Faster Setup, Lower Cost
Launching a new Series is significantly faster and more cost-effective than forming a new LLC from scratch:

• No new state filings or EINs required for each deal.

• Shared infrastructure across Series (legal, admin, compliance).

• Ideal for syndicate leads who want to move quickly on time-sensitive opportunities.


✅ 3. Legal and Liability Protection
Each Series is legally distinct:

• Investors in one deal have no liability for others.

• Assets and obligations are kept completely separate.

• This provides protection for both deal leads and investors.


✅ 4. Scalable Back-Office Infrastructure
Because all Series roll up under a common master LLC:

• We can centralize operations (tax, compliance, distributions).

• K-1s, reporting, and fund flows are streamlined across the platform.

• This enables advisers to focus on sourcing and leading deals — while we handle the execution.


✅ 5. Preferred by Institutional LPs
Many experienced investors — including family offices and emerging fund managers — are already familiar with the Delaware Series structure. It’s become a trusted standard for deal-by-deal investing in private markets.
