Assure Services and Startup Angels Launch VentureFast to Support Venture Community, Accelerate Formation and Growth of New Funds

SALT LAKE CITY and WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Assure Services and Startup Angels today jointly announced the launch of VentureFast, the first market-standard, end-to-end suite of fund-formation and administration services at small firm-friendly pricing.

VentureFast was developed by two pioneers of the private equity industry. Assure Services is the administrative, accounting and compliance services leader who developed and manages the renowned LLC/SPV syndicate administration services platform used by AngelList, SeedInvest, EquityZen and many others. Startup Angels is the creator of a one-of-a-kind global content and fundraising platform developed to foster and accelerate startup capital growth in promising regions traditionally underserved by venture capital.

"This is a time of extraordinary opportunity in the private investment world," said Jeremy Neilson, founder and CEO of Assure Services. "We are genuinely excited to work with the Startup Angels team to remove bottlenecks that delay and inhibit promising venture funds from getting to market, executing their vision and making a real impact."

"Working with hundreds of fund managers, one of the most consistent concerns we hear is how difficult it is for small funds to find affordable, high-quality services," said Mack Kolarich, co-founder and VP of product at Startup Angels. "With VentureFast, we're developing the infrastructure around innovation capital that startup investors and their LPs need to change the world."

Inspired by organizations like Techstars and Y Combinator, who led the way in standardizing seed stage deal documents for entrepreneurs, Startup Angels and Assure Services designed VentureFast to offer best-in-class services to venture partners around the country.

"As we navigate the entrepreneurial landscape, it's clear that there are strong support networks and infrastructure in place for entrepreneurs, but not for investors," said Leslie Jump, co-founder and CEO of Startup Angels. "VentureFast enables fund managers to hit the ground running, with the confidence that their fund documentation and administration will be done right, and at a workable price."

Another major advantage that VentureFast clients enjoy is access to the insights Assure and Startup Angels continue to develop in the rapidly evolving private investment market.

VentureFast has two primary service options: VentureForm and VentureManage.

VentureForm is a fund formation package that begins with a complete set of venture capital documents with market-standard terms, and can be customized to meet specific fund manager needs. VentureForm includes state and federal registrations and filings, as well as fundraising administration services.

VentureManage is a comprehensive accounting and administration "virtual CFO" that can handle all ongoing back office needs, from financial statements, to capital account tracking and capital call support.

All VentureFast services are currently available. For additional information, including product and pricing, visit https://marketplace.startupangels.com/venturefast/.
