The Network
Vision
SAN – capital and experience meet innovation and talent!
Mission
The StartAngels Network (SAN) is a non-profit organization that facilitates contact between Swiss start-ups and experienced investors.
SAN identifies, advises and supports start-ups with financing needs. SAN investors work with selected start-ups with outstanding business ideas and above-average market potential.
With its diversified and broad experience SAN provides capital, expertise, board members and helpful contacts. Interested members are trained as lead investors.
Typical Investments
We are looking for companies that are in an early phase and have a high growth potential. These companies come from various industries with a focus on e.g. MedTech, ICT, CleanTech, Instruments, Micro- and Nanotechnology and are based in Switzerland. After successful completion of the investment process, StartAngels participate individually with an investment of CHF 50 – 200k. The total amount of an investment round is typically CHF 0.5 to 3 million.
Good entry opportunity for new business angels
Are you interested in investing experience and money in start-ups yourself? By becoming a member of SAN, co-investment together with an experienced StartAngel as lead investor is an attractive opportunity for you to become involved as a business angel. Please contact us!
