Frequently asked questions
A Business Angel Club is a group of investors pooling their capital to invest together for a year.
By opting for this formula, you agree to invest a specific individual amount (€20k) in three projects chosen collectively during the year. You are supervised by one or two coaches who help you in the selection of your investments. This is the formula that is most successful with new members, because it allows you to get started in this activity gently, combining theory and practice.
Anyone with little or no experience in the world of investing. Joining a Business Angel Club is the ideal way to start your investment journey.
The investment amount is €20,000 per person in the group for 3 investments over the course of a year.
However, you can decide to invest more in the companies you like, reinvest or not, or invest during the year in companies independently of the group's decision.
All members of the group have access to the BeAngels Academy, a 4-day training course that teaches you the basics of investing.
The coach(s) are experienced business angels, who share their “know-how” and their very specific business angel experience.
We organize file presentations every month, except during school holidays. These forums take place once a month at the end of the day (reception at 5:30 p.m. in person – 6:30 p.m. online). The location is communicated in the invitation that you will receive before the forum. You receive a description
summary of the project in an anonymous manner. After the pitch session, the group meets to discuss and evaluate their interest in investing in one of the startups.
The membership fee amounts to €3,000 (excluding VAT), which includes coaching, training, supervision of meetings and due diligence, as well as the annual fee as a member of the network for one year.
During the following years, as long as you have companies in your portfolio, you will be charged monitoring fees (2% of the amount under management). Carried interest fees are also provided upon exit.
