We unite startup companies with experienced angels
EstBAN connects and educates business angels to increase investment quality, thereby helping innovative startups to grow.
Why angel investing?
You might think it is just to make money, but for many investors, it is a way to give back to the community, to help build successful companies and to get the satisfaction that comes from this involvement. Of course angels hope to get a decent return as well. Being part of the angel investor community gives you access to quality deal flow, and the possibility to team up with an experienced angels to be able to share responsibilities and ideas before making an investment decision.
Rocket-starting your angel investments into the best startups can’t be easier
EstBAN has deal-flow equal to any early-stage VC – the best deals are screened by the most experienced investors, and presented to EstBAN angels monthly. Then, for the very best startups, investments syndicates are formed.

Disclaimer: We would like to emphasize, that startup investing is high-risk investing. No return is guaranteed and there is a risk of losing the invested money. Your investment may increase in book value, but it is illiquid for a very long time and exit may take as long as 12 years. Statistically, the best strategy is to build a portfolio of invested startups (ca 20).
If you would like to get more insight in startup investing, please do not hesitate to ask the EstBAN team or the board or discuss it with experienced angels.
