Frequently Asked Question

We welcome startups from multiple stages. Whether you’re still refining your idea on the back of a napkin, have an MVP with a few users, or you’re raising your Series A, there’s space for you here. We believe good ideas and passionate teams deserve a chance to find the right partners early on.

We’re not asking for a 200-page PDF full of charts. What we need is clarity: a pitch deck or presentation that explains your problem, your solution, your market, and why you’re the team to pull it off. If you do have a full plan, that’s great — but don’t let the lack of one stop you from applying.

We pride ourselves on quick responses. You’ll usually hear back within a few days, sometimes even the same day. The absolute maximum is 14 days. We know how stressful the “waiting game” can be, so we make sure you’re never left hanging indefinitely.

Rejection is never fun, but it’s also not the end. Even if investors pass, we’ll make sure you get feedback that can help you refine your pitch, product, or growth strategy. And remember — today’s “no” might turn into tomorrow’s “yes.” We encourage founders to stay connected and keep evolving.

It varies. Some startups may be raising small pre-seed rounds where even €5,000–10,000 makes a meaningful impact, while others may be looking for larger ticket sizes. We’ll always make clear the range of expected investment for each deal, so you can participate at a level that fits your comfort zone and strategy.

Absolutely. Think of us as curators, not dictators. We present vetted opportunities, but the final decision is always yours. You decide which industries, stages, or founders resonate with you. Some angels love to support founders they can mentor, while others look for high-growth potential — and that’s the beauty of choice.

We do a first layer of vetting to make sure the teams are real, the product exists (or at least is in development), and the opportunity is credible. That said, startup investing always carries risk. We’ll provide you with as much background, due diligence material, and transparency as possible so you can make informed decisions.

That’s the dream, right? 🦄 If the startup you back takes off, you don’t just enjoy potential financial returns — you also become part of their story. Angels often build lifelong relationships with founders, celebrate milestones together, and gain bragging rights forever. And yes, hopefully, that exit check will feel as good as the champagne.
