Berlin Brandenburg
Ideas of tomorrow.
Support them today.
Company foundations are the driving force of economic development. As business angels, we support founders in shaping the world of tomorrow — with optimism, know-how, network, capital, and active assistance. We rely on cooperation instead of competition and particularly enjoy working with first-time founders and people with diverse backgrounds.
Our more than 140 business angels stand by startups from founding to successful exit with advice and action. Rooted in the Berlin-Brandenburg region, we connect early-stage startups from the DACH region with angels, VCs, and stakeholders worldwide — online and offline. Our offer is free of charge for startups; in case of success, we benefit together as shareholders.

The team by your side
We are passionate about innovative ideas and the startup scene. That’s why, as the office, we do our best to connect startups with the right business angels. We review applications, organize the deal flow, and create opportunities for exchange. This way, we are always there for angels and startups whenever things get stuck, helping both sides make matching and dealmaking efficient, transparent, and successful.
