Business Angel Funding
Accelerate your high-potential startup with business angel funding: gain expertise, access capital, and drive growth.
What is it?
For companies seeking to raise new equity capital in the seed and early stages of their development, business angel finance may be more suitable than venture capital funding.
Business angels are high net worth individuals who invest on their own, or as part of a syndicate, in high growth businesses. These investors typically contribute between €25,000 and €250,000, with syndicated deals reaching up to €1 million. In addition to funding, they offer their skills, experience, and contacts, often strengthening your management team.
Business angels are often successful entrepreneurs in their own right. They usually take an equity stake in your company and aim to exit their investment within 3 to 7 years.
You may have access to angels through your own personal contacts or you may choose to contact Halo Business Angel Network (HBAN) or Awaken Angels which are both based across the island of Ireland.
