Business angels (private investors) provide innovative companies with risk capital for growth and development in exchange for shares in the company. Business Angels Connect is your partner in preparing for the introduction and the actual introductions to business angels.
Business Angels Connect guides startups, scale-ups, and growing companies towards financing from business angel investors. You can count on direct access to a wide range of investors and our many years of experience. We are a Benelux investors network maintaining European relationships with strategic partnerships within the angel community.
Our guidance focuses on preparing the entrepreneur(s) to be in a strong position to engage in discussions with investors. To achieve this, we work together to develop an optimal investment proposition. We then arrange meetings with potentially interested investors.
The Benefits of a Business Angel
- Financial Support
A distinguishing feature of business angels is that they are not afraid to provide risk capital for startups. In short, business angels are a solution when you are (partly) unable to secure a loan from a bank and are looking for capital. - Knowledge
Business angels interested in your proposition often have extensive sector-specific knowledge. This knowledge can help elevate your business to the next level. - Network
Another advantage of a business angel is the large network they typically bring with them. As an entrepreneur, you likely already know that a broad network is incredibly valuable. By partnering with a business angel, you gain access to their network, giving your business a boost. - Mentor
Business angels find satisfaction in helping you grow as an entrepreneur and working together. For this reason, angels often take on a role as a mentor or coach. If you are open to it, business angels can teach you a lot about entrepreneurship. - Companion
Business angels often invest for enjoyment and returns. This creates an opportunity for a healthy dose of camaraderie and possibly even friendship.
