This sounds like a very practical solution for startups! I'm curious about what criteria are used to vet the Business Angels listed?
Julien Fissette
Hi @memphys_sk, great question! The end product contains between 50 and 100 top 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, as well as reviewing our user base. We have near 20k users, mostly investors, on the Roundtable platform. 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. Hope this helps!

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 - thanks for sharing! Great idea leveraging top angels to refine the list. And love the mix/diversity here!

Hi Julien, this sounds like a fantastic tool for founders! Streamlining the process of finding the right investors is a real game-changer. How often do you update the Investor Database to ensure it stays current?
Julien Fissette
@alex_dulub we plan on updating it every few months for now, and over time integrate it in the broader Roundtable product to have live information :)
Anthony Losso
Great tool to use when raising funds!
