Investment thesis
Angel Invest describes itself as Europe's most active super angel fund, backing category-defining companies even before incorporation. It writes typical checks of about €125k across Angel, Pre-seed, and Seed rounds, focusing primarily on AI, FinTech, and DeepTech, though it occasionally invests outside these areas. After investing, it coaches teams for at least a year, helping them reach product-market fit and raise a Series A, with around 60% graduating to Series A. Partners are all former founders who have built and exited startups. The firm offers a fast, no-committee decision process, helps founders raise both equity and debt, and leverages a broad co-investor network.
