How to leverage more investment from Business Angels in your region to increase the number of successful start-ups?
It is necessary to bridge the equity gap present on the risk capital market for new innovative companies if we want to have a dynamic environment of new companies, but how to do it? With Angel Fund! Angel Fund is the fund of co-investment for Business Angels Club and Business Angels Network. It has been created on the basis of the experience and results reached in the USA, the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom. Unlike a traditional venture capital Fund, Angel Fund invests exclusively in transactions identified by the Business Angel. By doing so, the capacity of the informal investors to intercept and evaluate interesting investment opportunities is exploited, as well as their capacity to provide quality managerial support to companies, in the phase after the investment.
Why Angel Fund?
The main benefice of Angel Fund is to be the fastest and most careful way to intercept early stage investment opportunities at a relatively lower cost: despite its small size, it still allows to devote the majority of the collected resources to companies as the main costs of the due diligence are shared pro quota by the involved Angels.
The Angels, on their side, particularly appreciate the possibility to work together with a fund as lots of them, individually or in pools, neither are able to offer to the target company enough financial resources, nor have the possibility to have access to additional funding sources. Therefore, the Fund has the advantage of increasing their global investment capacity, reducing at the same time the risk taken.
