4NGELS is funded by the European Union with the goal of connecting business angels from different European countries. We have brought together partners from four countries: Estonia, Finland, Slovenia and Poland. Together we have created a programme to exchange knowledge and experience about investing into startups by business angels.
Business angels are an essential part of the growth of the startup ecosystem and actively support startups in their countries. It is time to explore their potential in cross-border transactions.
Explore 4NGELS and join the programme to learn more about cross-border investing, meet business angels from other countries and get the best experience from the practitioners in the startup market. Participation in the programme is free of charge, but travel costs and participation in external events are not reimbursed.
The programme is also designed for startups who want to learn more about how to work with business angels internationally.
We look forward to having you on board regardless of your level of experience!
4NGELS is made up of:
- EstBAN (Estonia)
- FiBAN (Finland)
- Cobin Angels (Poland)
- Business Angels of Slovenia (Slovenia)
The project is coordinated by Civitta, originating from Estonia.
We have joined our experience and cross-border investment potential to give you the opportunity to participate in international deals. Together we form a network of over a thousand business angels who have invested over €500m in more than 7,000 startups. Through the 4NGELS programme, we want to share our experience and knowledge with you so that you learn about investment opportunities in Estonia, Finland, Slovenia and Poland.
If you are a business angel, you can take advantage of the international training, experience sharing sessions, investor coaching and cross-border investment materials available.
We also invite startup representatives to participate in dedicated coaching sessions and the best of them also to present at cross-border pitching events.
