Many friends want to understand in detail how investors can use Jarsy to invest in pre-IPO companies that are not traded on the public market. Jarsy accomplishes this through a tool called Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV). We have compiled all the knowledge related to SPVs into a very detailed blog post. It thoroughly explains what an SPV is, the typical legal structure of an SPV, the typical process of participating in a traditional SPV, the innovations brought by SPVs, the shortcomings of traditional SPVs, and how Jarsy addresses these shortcomings. We hope this educational content can help those who want to understand and participate in early or pre-IPO company investments through SPVs.

How will I fund my startup? How will I promote my product idea? How will I research my product niche? How will I find my audience?

Shiny New Toys vs. Sticking to the Plan: The Founder’s Dilemma
Developing an MVP is tough. Especially deciding on the initial features
Every day, there’s a new tech advancement, a shiny feature, a cool competitor update. And as founders, we can easily fall into the trap of wanting to integrate everything, right away. But I believe there’s immense value in staying disciplined and trusting the process.
Here’s where Toyota’s approach comes to my mind. While their cars might not always boast the latest cutting-edge features compared to competitors, they are incredibly reliable. Why? Because they stay committed to their product development cycle. Instead of chasing every new trend, they focus on building a solid, reliable product that works every single time. It’s a philosophy that has made them one of the most trusted brands in the world.
At Mela, this is a constant internal discussion, where we want to integrate something new, one more feature that might make raising funds easier or generating revenue faster. But we are locking in on our original roadmap, trusting our guts, and building the foundation first. Features can always be iterated on, but the core product? That needs to be solid.
Let’s build things that work. More to follow!
Do you agree to this approach?

At invygo, we believe in challenging the status quo of car ownership. Our journey has been one of relentless innovation, resilience, and a commitment to changing how people experience mobility. Today, I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in that journey: we have raised an $8 million Series A extension to accelerate our path to profitability.
But let’s be clear—this isn’t just about raising funds. It’s about creating a future where accessing a car is as seamless as subscribing to your favorite service, where flexibility meets affordability. We’ve listened, learned, and acted. Our partners, team, and customers have been at the heart of this mission, and this investment is a testament to their belief in us.
Profitability isn’t just a goal; it’s a promise to our stakeholders, to ourselves, and to the future of car subscriptions in the region. We’re not here to follow the norm but to set a new standard.
Thank you to our investors, partners, and the dedicated Invygo team who made this possible.
