Once you decide to raise funds, you’ll spend weeks looking for Business Angels. Now with Investor Profiles, you can directly see if you fit their investment thesis. Even better, we’ve created a list of top BAs on Folk, the CRM we used to raise our own seed.

👋 Hi founders and makers! With Roundtable, we’re building the marketplace and financial infrastructure to help structure investments in startups. With more than 300M€ of startup investments going through the platform in 2 years, we think we’re decently connected to Business Angels. And yet, when we raised our seed round last year, we spent ages finding BAs, curating them, finding that some were not investing at the time, etc. We ended up raising 3M€ with amazing BAs which we love dearly <3, but I can assure you we had better things to do like, you know, running our business. That’s why we’ve: 1️⃣ built Investor Profiles allowing our users to showcase their investment thesis, portfolio of investment, and explain what they look for in startups, 2️⃣ aggregated the top profiles in an Investor Database, and 3️⃣ partnered with our friends at Folk to host it. They’ve built a great CRM which we used for our own seed round. FYI, we’ve talked to and excluded several Business Angels who told us they were not currently investing. If there’s a household name you cannot find here, it may be because they opted out for now. 👉 Founders, have a look, and I hope you’ll save time preparing your next round! It’s your most precious asset 🙂 👉 Investors, if you’re interested in being listed: create your Profile page and contact us! *⭐️ This database is of course biased towards our existing user base. If there is a country you would like us to research and add, don’t hesitate to share it in the comments!* **LINKS👇** Create your Profile page on app.roundtable.eu Access the database on roundtable.eu/investor-database

@julien_fissette Congratulations on the launch! Wishing you a journey full of achievements and success. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to other creators?

Hi @kjosephabraham, to take the time to prepare it well! The product, the assets, explain to your community how they can help you on D Day, all that takes a lot of time and effort. But definitely worth it!

We need more transparency in the world of private equity fundraise - this is another great step towards it! After hearing so much more about poor VC experiences, this quality database is much needed. Did you curate this by emailing these VCs? Congrats on the launch @julien_fissette and team!
Julien Fissette
@tonyhanded great question! The end product contains between 50 and 100 Business Angels (BAs) per country. The idea was to have a mix of “veterans” and promising new BAs, as well as a mix of men and women BAs. But how did we get there? We started with existing lists, which gave us a few thousand names. We then narrowed them down with the help of a few top angels from our network in each target country. What we basically asked them was : “who would you follow without thinking if they invited you to a deal?” That’s why we’ve only included in the list countries where we have a geographical footprint. Finally, we tried to contact everyone to check if they were still actively investing at the moment. This is why some household names may be missing: they told us they didn’t want to be listed, or were not currently investing.

Would be great to have a column to see number of invests / latest invest date. To filter out inactive lurkers 😅
Alexis Guinebretière
@sentry_co thank you for the feedback! We personally hand-picked the investors in this list and reached out to each one of them to ensure they were currently actively investing :)

@alexis_guinebretiere Yeah but that changes with the winds over time. It might be hard to track, but with crunchbase etc it's possible. Ive seen VC platforms track this. It's one of the strongest indicators TBH. Okay this VC invested 8 times in the last 2 months. Great cadence. Worth approaching etc. If a VC did only 2 invests in the last year. Then maybe not spend too much time etc.
Julien Fissette
@sentry_co great feedback! We will think how to best incorporate it in a v2 🙏
