About The Event

Private market transactions have traditionally been burdened by fragmented, manual workflows that create administrative friction for both founders and investors. This session tackles these challenges head-on by introducing the mechanics of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)—legal entities that consolidate multiple investors into a single line on a company’s cap table.

Attendees will learn how SPVs act as a “clean structure” to group investor commitments, simplifying governance and future financing rounds. The webinar will also demonstrate how digital platforms like Zest Equity are replacing spreadsheets with automated tools for onboarding, compliance, and fund transfers.

Key Topics

The agenda is designed to guide participants from the basics of legal structuring to practical execution:

• Understanding SPVs: A deep dive into what Special Purpose Vehicles are, their legal structures (such as ADGM or Cayman Islands entities), and why they are critical for modern deal-making.
• Who Uses SPVs: Identifying the key players—from syndicate leads building track records to fund managers accessing deals outside their core thesis.
• Running a Syndicate: Practical insights on how to group investors, manage allocations, and execute deals efficiently without administrative burnout.
• End-to-End Execution: A walkthrough of how Zest Equity’s platform digitizes the entire process, from KYC and signing to funding and closing.

Featured Speaker

• Ghalia Abu Sitteh: Business Development at Zest Equity. An experienced ecosystem builder, Ghalia previously served as the General Manager of the Beyond Capital Angels Network, bringing deep expertise in angel investment and deal structuring.
