Startups and investors come together in Luxembourg

We traveled to Luxembourg Bourse to cover the Spring Investment Forum hosted by the Luxembourg Business Angel Network, known as LBAN. Several times a year, LBAN hosts forums where entrepreneurs from throughout the region gather to present their projects to private investors known as “business angels”.

Business Angels are independent investors who invest their own money in start-up enterprises, taking on very high risks in exchange for very high potential gain.

After an overview of the event, we present two “case histories” which highlight the experiences of two individual entrepreneurs Jean-Claude Bintz and Jean-Luc Funck.

LBAN is part of EBAN – the European Business Angel Network. Read our previous article about EBAN

Dear Mr Chmara,

indeed one of the projects is in due diligence with a syndicate of invetsors present at the event.

Dear Mrs Lapointe,

generally BAs are looking to get involved at various degrees depending on their preferences e.g. firm hands-on or more supervisory role.


Best,

Very interesting cover! What would be interesting to know is : did any of the projects presented that day found his angel?

A question more than a comment: do business angels generally want to become individually involved in the projects they have been investing on, or not? And is preferable or not? Any experiences to share? Thanks
