AngelList RUVs, Having Deployed $1 Billion, Rebrand as 'Rollups' for Founders

In a significant development for the startup ecosystem, AngelList has officially spun out its highly successful Roll Up Vehicles (RUVs) into a new, dedicated brand named "Rollups." This strategic move aims to further streamline and enhance the fundraising process for founders seeking capital from individual angel investors. The announcement comes as RUVs have already facilitated over $1 billion in investments for startups, saving founders an estimated $100 million in administrative costs since their inception.

Max Stoiber, a prominent figure in the tech community, lauded the service, stating in a recent tweet, "> TIL AngelList spun out RUVs as its own standalone brand, 'Rollups'! We used an RUV at Stellate with great success. 11/10 would recommend to all founders raising from individual angels. (and I love investing in them, too!)" His endorsement highlights the practical benefits experienced by founders using the platform.

Roll Up Vehicles (RUVs) function as a type of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), enabling founders to consolidate numerous smaller investors into a single entity on their company's cap table. This mechanism significantly reduces the administrative burden and legal complexities associated with managing multiple individual angel investments. AngelList, now through its Rollups brand, handles the intricate processes of entity formation, capital collection, investor accreditation, KYC, and signature management.

The creation of the "Rollups" brand, which launched on July 30, 2025, underscores AngelList's commitment to providing specialized tools for companies. Beyond the established RUVs, the new brand also introduces Consolidation Vehicles (CVs), designed to assist founders in retroactively consolidating existing stakeholders into a single entity. This expansion aims to give companies greater control over their equity management and simplify their cap tables.

With RUVs having proven to be a "founder-loved fundraising tool," the spin-out into Rollups is expected to further accelerate their adoption. The platform offers a user-friendly experience for both founders and investors, facilitating quick deal closures and providing a comprehensive dashboard for tracking fundraising progress, reinforcing its role in modernizing early-stage venture financing.
