We are proud of our performance within managed portfolios and increase our high-tech footprint everyday to support a future-proof economy.
2017, Partners from Venionaire Capital and KPMG Austria founded European Super Angels Club. Inspired by the idea to connect Europe in order to shed light on the greatest talents of the European Union and provide necessary funding as a pan-european syndicate with the goal to see them conquer the world, we agreed to start this project. Liechtensteinische Landesbank (originally Semper Constantia Private Bank), Deutsche Börse Venture Network, top international law-firms like sheppherd-wedderburn, Accelerators like Wayra (Telefonica) and many others supported this club from early days until today. Every year roughly 40 Startups pitch in-front of a selected group of investors and some of them raise millions through this initiative and its syndication-fund.
Business Angel and even Venture Capital investing started late in Europe. We didn’t trigger this trend, but we identified a gap in 2014 together with Dr. Herwig Rollett and a number of Universities accross Europe. Most academic papers in the field of angel and venture finance where based on data from the United States of America and United Kingdom (in particular Scotland). European policy needed data to define attractive programs to support and build startup ecosystems and there was a need from academics to help identify investors to support studies and surveys. Years later Europe does well in this sector and our initiative is not only supporting academia, it is also training and certifing business angels to “CERTIFIED BUSINESS ANGELS“.
