“One of the big issues we have in Europe is a dichotomy between the well-developed angel markets on the western side, and much less developed angel markets in central, eastern and southern Europe,” said Jenny Tooth, a board member of Business Angels Europe, which represents over 40,000 angels across Europe. We are happy to announce we'll take part in the upcoming ESIL 2 EU-funded project aiming to increase the number of private individuals making equity investments in small companies in eastern Europe, in a bid to increase the flow of capital that deep tech start-ups need to scale. --- Stay tuned for more news coming and in the meanwhile read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/daV6Neyh
