What is a Business Angel?

A business angel invests their own time, money, and resources in early-stage projects to assist the founders in making it a successful business.

A business angel can usually provide much more value than just a cash investment to a startup, but an angel will always invest some cash to have “skin in the game”.

A business angel typically does not hold a formal role in the company, though some will join the board or even serve as a de-facto co-founder if skills and needs align.

You are a business angel even if you invest just a five-digit sum of any currency in a startup, as the advice and connections you also provide can be the most valuable contribution to the business.

Why You Should Become A Business Angel!

  • On a personal level, it is deeply rewarding. You get to work with dedicated and smart people of your own choosing, in a field where you have something to contribute.
  • On a financial level, if you play your cards right, this is a chance for you to earn money. There is nonetheless a risk of losing all capital invested. We are here to guide you through this journey so that you make the best decisions possible.
  • On a social-impact level, Business Angels are vital for new businesses in need of support when most traditional investors are not prepared to back them. Passion and heart are crucial: an Angel doesn’t do it for the money alone but for the journey.
