Startup investing made easy

RollingSouth is a family of Funds that invests in early stage High Value/High Growth startups in the Southern United States. We mitigate risk with disciplined diligence and diversification. We are investing our own capital and you can invest along with us.

RollingSouth invests our own capital in select early stage startup companies in the Southern US and currently offers 2 fund options with a 3rd fund coming online in 2023. LPs can invest along with us in these 3 Fund options:

  • These are single companies into which RollingSouth is investing. AngelList SPVs offer a low investment minimum of $1,000 with limited allocation from RollingSouth to AngelList LPs.

  • A new Rolling Fund opens each calendar quarter to invest in 1-3 companies into which RollingSouth is investing. These Funds offer a $5,000 minimum each quarter for a minimum of 4 quarters over 2 years.

  • Coming in 2023, this traditional fund aims to raise ~$2-5MM over 18-24 months and deploy capital over 2-3 years in approximately 20 new startups and 5-6 follow on investments that are executing strongly. This fund offers a minimum investment commitment of $10,000 to be called over the period of investment

  • Exemption from federal capital gains tax for QSBS eligible startups (IRS sec 1202). We expect about 90% of our investments to be QSBS stock.

    AngelList investors pay 20% Carry and the required AngelList fees for AL LPs. Direct LP investors get Carry discounted to 15% with a 2% one time fee. Investment Caryy for investments >$100,000 is negotiable.

    Diversification in the Rolling Fund into 6-12 startups per year and in The RollingSouth Fund into ~20-25 startups over 2-3 years.
