BeAngels is a key stakeholder in the financial support of young companies in Belgium, as well as in the creation of value and employment.
The network was created to address two problems:
- to help young start-ups that are having difficulties in obtaining finance and support
- to offer investors an organised and structured network to facilitate their investments in the real economy.
BeAngels is a real alternative to traditional stakeholders (banks, venture capitalists, national and regional support organisations) and offers exclusive support services to both entrepreneurs and investors.
- young startups
- investors
Each project goes through the following four stages:
-
Submission of application: registration of the project via the link available on the BeAngels website and submission of the appropriate documents.
-
Selection Committee: when BeAngels considers that an investor from its network may be interested in partial or full financing, the entrepreneur is invited to present their project to the Selection Committee (framework, modalities, etc.). The entrepreneur has seven minutes to present their project and must then answer the questions asked by the Selection Committee members.
-
Presentation at the Investment Forum: every month, except July and August, BeAngels meetings (forums) where entrepreneurs have the opportunity to present their project in front of an assembly of investors. After signing the entrepreneurial contract, the entrepreneur will be supported in the preparation of their dossier, particularly with regard to its presentation.
-
Option: BeAngels collects expressions of interest after the Investment Forum. The first working meetings with the Business Angels and entrepreneurs are organised. The discussions are led by a "Deal Maker", a person selected by BeAngels who will act as a facilitator in the negotiations.
Once a month, the investors receive a list of the selected projects with a complete and anonymous description of each one.
