If I close the RUV, will pending investors be able to complete the process?

Yes, anyone who has already signed will be able to complete the investor closing flow, but new investors will not be able to commit to the RUV.
We can begin the closing process on our end even if all the investors have not completed the flow. That said, we will need all the investors to be marked as “completed” before we can wire the funds.

Can I do multiple closes?

No, we’re unable to do multiple closes or rolling closes. We can only close the RUV once, when all investors have committed and funded their investments.
