Launch. Raise. Trade.

Everything an emerging manager needs to go from idea to institutional-grade vehicle.

Launch

Formation infrastructure that gets you to market fast

Whether you need a bespoke offshore fund with institutional service providers or a 24-hour SPV wrapper, Ignite handles the operational heavy lifting. Preferred-rate service providers. Templated and bespoke documents. Regulatory scaffolding. You focus on the investment thesis — we handle everything else.

Raise

Access a global investor network

Your fund or SPV can be syndicated to qualified investors on Laureate Markets. No more cold-calling allocators — let investors discover your offering on an institutional marketplace. Structured deal pages, investor-grade datarooms, and streamlined subscription flows.

Trade

Offer your LPs something most funds and SPVs can't: liquidity

Tokenized interests enable secondary trading, lending, and borrowing on Laureate Markets — available for both funds and SPVs. Make your vehicle more attractive to institutional allocators who want exit optionality. Same economics, better investor experience. Your terms — secondary market access is always optional.

Give Your Investors What They Actually Want

Traditional fund and SPV structures lock investors in. With optional secondary market access on Laureate Markets, your vehicle — fund or SPV — offers something most cannot: liquidity without vehicle-level redemptions.

Trade

Investors can buy and sell fund or SPV interests on Laureate Markets

Lend

Investors can borrow against their positions for interim liquidity

Settle

24/7 settlement reduces counterparty risk

Attract

Liquidity options make your fund or SPV more marketable to sophisticated allocators

Secondary market access is optional and subject to applicable securities laws and transfer restrictions.

Transparent. Aligned. Simple.
