Belgium Angel Investment Network is part of the world's largest angel network established in 2004 that connects entrepreneurs with investors. Founders James Badgett and Mike Lebus identified challenges in the startup ecosystem where innovative ideas struggled to secure seed funding. They created an online platform to streamline this process, allowing entrepreneurs to pitch ideas and connect with angel investors efficiently. Today, the network includes 1,931,870 registered members, comprising 372,732 investors and 1,559,138 entrepreneurs across 40 networks in 90 countries, making it the largest angel investment community globally. The platform has facilitated the raising of £200 million, supporting notable companies like What3Words, FanBytes, Sweatcoin, The Dots, and Faction. In 2021, they introduced BrickTribe, connecting property developers with investors, and launched an investor app in 2023 for on-the-go access to startup opportunities. The mission remains to connect entrepreneurs with investors, continuously seeking innovative solutions to enhance the startup ecosystem. Joining the network is free, allowing full access to numerous investment opportunities and an easy online pitch creation process.
