Deal Arrangement Process
Our Family Office leverages collective expertise to arrange deals more efficiently than individual investors. By the time an offer reaches our partners, comprehensive work has been completed, including:
1) Identifying high-potential deals and investment opportunities
2) Collaborating closely with founders to refine and present pitches
3) Analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess viability
4) Evaluating risks to ensure informed decision-making
This streamlined process minimizes effort and maximizes value for our investors, positioning them to make well-vetted, high-potential investments.
Our Partners leverage extensive networks and deep expertise to identify the best investment opportunities for you. We maintain a global search for deals, fostering relationships within the investment community to ensure a consistent flow of top-tier opportunities.
We rigorously evaluate deals using a tailored set of criteria. Our team analyzes, on average, over 100 companies to find the one that aligns with your investment goals, ensuring you’re presented with only the most promising prospects.
Each potential investment typically receives between €250K and €1.5M. To access these high-quality opportunities, maintaining a steady flow of capital and regular investments is essential for successful entry into the market.
We handle the entire investment process with precision, covering every administrative detail for smooth execution. This includes comprehensive due diligence, drafting term sheets, preparing legal agreements, setting up Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), and managing fund transfers in line with investment regulations in developed markets. We also manage investment exits, ensuring everything runs according to plan.
Investor Participation in the Deal
We cultivate relationships with our partners to ensure they receive comprehensive information about each deal in a clear and understandable format. This approach enables our investors to make informed decisions quickly and with confidence.
Investors receive regular updates through the QLA’s Whatsapp Community Chat, featuring memos and pitches from general partners and founders for each company.

FAQs
Investments are executed through a dedicated SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle). For each new deal, a separate SPV is created using trusted syndicate services (e.g., Aqusistion.com). Investors transfer funds directly to the SPV’s account, ensuring structured and transparent participation in the investment.
Investing in deals provides limited liquidity for 3-5 years. However, early exits are possible by selling your share to another syndicate member at the current market price. While we facilitate connections, liquidity depends on demand within the network.
Investments inherently carry risk. Legal protection is ensured by the jurisdiction of the SPV and the startup itself. However, the most significant safeguard is our rigorous selection process and continuous monitoring. The QLA team conducts deep due diligence, ensuring only high-potential opportunities make it through — maximizing the probability of a profitable exit.
QLA operates under Estonian and Lithuanian jurisdictions, with expansion into Zurich underway. We structure each investment through a dedicated SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle), ensuring compliance, transparency, and efficient deal execution. QLA handles deal sourcing, investment analysis, investor relations, and administrative processes, providing a streamlined investment framework.
Each investor determines their level of participation. For QLA, the minimum investment amount is €250,000, ensuring access to high-value deals with structured opportunities for strong returns.
Tax obligations depend on the investor’s residency and investment structure (personal vs. corporate). Each investor must comply with the tax laws of their country of residence at the time of receiving investment income.
Estonia
Individuals: Capital gains are taxed at 20% upon realization.
Companies: No corporate tax on retained earnings; 20% tax applies only when profits are distributed.
European Union (General Overview)
Capital Gains Tax: Varies by country, typically 15-30% on realized gains.
Dividend Tax: Ranges from 15-25%, with some exemptions for reinvestment or holding company structures.
Wealth Tax: Some EU countries impose an annual wealth tax on investments.
Key Considerations
Tax rates and exemptions vary by jurisdiction.
Some EU countries have tax treaties that may reduce withholding tax.
Investors should seek professional tax advice with an tax advisor to optimize their tax position based on their residency and investment structure.
The key differences between the QLA Family Office SPV approach and a traditional fund are:
1) Investment Structure:
In the QLA Family Office model, investors are given the opportunity to join individual deals where the founding partners invest their own capital. This allows for more targeted participation in specific opportunities. In contrast, funds pool investors’ money and allocate it internally.
2) Investor Autonomy:
Investors in the QLA Family Office model have the freedom to select which deals to participate in and determine the amount they wish to invest (starting from €250,000 for QLA). In a fund, decisions about where money is allocated are typically made internally, with less control for individual investors.
3) Deal Size and Influence:
The QLA Family Office typically focuses on more exclusive deals, often with smaller entry thresholds compared to traditional funds, which generally invest larger amounts and exert more influence over the startups they support. While funds may have the capacity to make larger investments, the QLA Family Office offers a more selective, hands-on approach to each opportunity.
4) Investment Transparency:
With the QLA Family Office, investors receive detailed, company-specific reports that provide insights into each opportunity. Funds often provide more generalized reports, which can limit the investor’s understanding of specific investments.
5) Cost Structure:
The QLA Family Office employs a transparent and predictable fee structure. Investors are charged an ongoing management fee, ensuring that each investment is actively managed and optimized. Unlike traditional funds, which often impose multiple fees that can erode long-term returns, the QLA Family Office offers a more straightforward approach. This ensures that investors benefit from clear cost allocation, while still receiving the oversight and strategic input needed to maximize their investments.
Why Choose the QLA Family Office Approach?
The QLA Family Office approach is ideal for investors who want more control over their investments, better transparency into each deal, and access to unique opportunities, often with smaller initial investments, at a lower cost compared to traditional funds.
Investors are added to a dedicated communication channel where updates, news, and potential investment opportunities are shared. If an investor expresses interest in a specific deal, they are moved to a separate chat focused on that deal. In both the main channel and the deal-specific chat, investors receive detailed instructions and support from the QLA team. To ensure confidentiality and protect sensitive information, all investors sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) upon joining, allowing access to proprietary startup data and commercial insights.
To create a diversified and balanced portfolio of venture investments with the QLA Family Office, follow these steps:
1) Fill out the investor application to express your interest.
2) Sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which will be sent via email for confidentiality purposes.
3) Join the QLA communication channels, where all updates and investment opportunities are shared. An invitation will be provided after submitting your application.
4) Once the investment offer is posted in the main QLA channel, follow the link to join the deal-specific chat. Here, you’ll receive detailed information such as the investment memorandum, presentation, and financial calculations.
5) Participate in Zoom meetings with general partners and startup founders for a deeper discussion of the deal’s terms and opportunities.
6) Submit your investment application through the client collection form, indicating the amount you intend to invest. You may adjust the investment amount later with prior notice to the QLA team.
7) When fundraising starts, complete the registration (onboarding) process via a special service/platform where an SPV is created for fund accumulation. Once the funds are gathered, they will be transferred to the startup.
8) Transfer funds to the SPV account and provide supporting settlement documents.
9) Receive confirmation from the QLA team confirming the successful receipt of your investment.
10) Stay updated with news and developments regarding the closing of the deal and the startup’s progress.
