Special Purpose Vehicle
Definition
A separate legal entity created to pool investor money for a single investment, so they appear as one shareholder.
Why it matters
An SPV keeps your cap table tidy by grouping many small investors into one line, which is simpler to manage.

Twenty angels invest through an SPV, appearing on your cap table as a single shareholder.
