Find a business angel
Business angels are experienced private individuals who invest early in start-ups. Alongside capital, they bring experience, contacts and credibility – ideal for the first growth phase.
What defines a business angel
Business angels invest their own money in young companies, usually in the early phase. Typical amounts range from a few tens of thousands to several hundred thousand francs. Besides the capital, their know-how and network are valuable.
Where to find business angels
In Switzerland, business angels organise themselves in networks and clubs, for example through regional angel associations, start-up events and platforms. Recommendations from your own circle also often lead to the first contact.
The right approach
Angels invest in people, not just ideas. A clear pitch, an honest assessment of opportunities and risks and a good personal fit are decisive. Prepare your business plan, financial plan and pitch deck carefully.
