Angels
Being an Angel is like being an entrepreneur without the responsibility of leading the business. Investing in startups as an Angel is the only way we know to get challenged with new business models and technologies, meet incredible people, contribute to the society and make money at the same time.
Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs do change the world and they deserve better angels.
Angels are essential because we help the entrepreneurs that have not enough money, knowledge, contacts or experience to build a startup with the speed and differentiation that is key nowadays.
OUR VISION FOR ANGEL INVESTING
Angels are not the informal venture capital.
Angels must be professional, invest in portfolio, invest in packs with other angels, be fair for the entrepreneurs, give and take, teach and learn, be humble and assertive, add value and step back when needed.
Angel investing is changing, the game is getting serious.
