EIF launches European Angels Fund

On March 12, the EIF has launched the European Angels Fund (EAF), a co-investment fund which provides equity to Business Angels and other non-institutional investors, in Frankfurt. The new facility works hand in hand with Business Angels and helps them to increase their investment capacity by co-investing into innovative companies in the seed, early or growth stage.

The EAF started its activities in Germany in close cooperation with the Business Angels Netzwerk Deutschland (BAND) and the ERP-EIF Dachfonds. It will be extended to other European countries and/or regions in the near future.The EAF has a unique set-up which is adapted to the Business Angels; investment style and needs. While it provides significant financial support, it also grants a maximum amount of freedom to each Business Angel and limits administrative processes to a minimum. Through the EAF, Business Angels can also draw on the expertise and network of the EIF.
