Frequently asked questions
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.
As a “solo” business angel, it is not always easy to find projects in which to invest, and even less the right ones. Joining a community of investors like BeAngels means joining a network of qualified people who already have a good understanding of investing in startups.
The typical amount for a direct investment is €25,000.
