Vircon Legal managed the angel financing round of Snapmuse. The round closed on 4 February 2023 with participation from İzzet Dalva, Ayşe Can Bayraktar, Alpaslan Ruçoğlu, İzzet Halyo, Ender Avcıoğlu, Aslan Saranga and Yusuf Kovos. The financial terms of the round were not disclosed at the request of the parties.

Multi-angel rounds combining seven individual investors carry a particular drafting challenge that single-anchor or two-anchor rounds do not: the documentation has to function consistently across seven different individual investor profiles, each with different sophistication levels, different information-flow expectations, different sensitivities around control mechanics, and different appetites for follow-on participation. The architecture has to leave the cap table flexible enough for the institutional rounds that almost always follow when a multi-angel structure has anchored a company at this stage, while still providing each angel with the protection and information rights they reasonably expect at closing.

Vircon Legal managed the round end-to-end: transaction structuring, subscription documentation, valuation and dilution mechanics, governance and reserved-matter design across the heterogeneous investor base, founder commitments, IP assignment frameworks, information-rights calibration across the seven-investor base, and the post-closing corporate housekeeping required after the change in shareholder composition. Multi-angel rounds at this scale particularly benefit from cleanly aligned documentation — getting the architecture right at closing avoids the friction that otherwise emerges when individual angels with different expectations encounter operational decision points in the months and years between rounds.
