Overview
BeAngels is one of Belgium's largest and most established business angel networks. Based in Brussels, the network brings together individual investors who back early-stage startups, typically at pre-seed or seed stage before institutional capital becomes available.
The network covers a range of sectors with a concentration in tech and digital startups. BeAngels often serves as a first institutional check for Belgian founders, complementing accelerators like Start it @KBC and imec.istart in the early funding ecosystem.

- Do stock option plans really help retain employees? That's one of the questions we'll explore next Tuesday at The POD. When Pierre-Olivier Danhaive introduced Verbolia's first warrant plan in 2021, retaining key employees was one of his main motivations. More than four years later, his experience raises some interesting questions. Some employees have left despite having warrants, new people have joined, and the plan has evolved through several rounds. So what should companies really consider before introducing such a plan? On
- Most women who could invest in startups have never been told they could. So let me be the one to say it: you can. And I’d love to show you how over breakfast! For those who know me, I’ve been at this for years at BeAngels 🤟 , and it still gets me every time. I meet women who have built companies, run business units, led teams and managed budgets, women who have made tough calls at the top of organisations, and then they tell me investing is “not really for them"...Oh, but it is! You don’t necessarily need to have founded a startup

- On November 23th in London, I’ll join David Ford (Oxford Venture Angels), Emma Steele (Ascension), Rodney Appiah (Cornerstone VC) and Yaroslav Kinebas ACSI (Vestd) to discuss The Rise of the professional angel: how technology is amplifying impact. 😇 Through my roles at BeAngels and ScaleFund, I see the early stage from both sides: an angel group and an independent venture fund. Three things stand out: 1. Technology makes angels faster and better informed. AI-powered sourcing, deeper diligence, better portfolio data. But if

- What happens to your company when the founder cannot be in charge any longer? While most founders avoid this question, I had the opportunity of exploring it on stage Boris Kaisin, co-founder of BeInfluence Europe, who has stepped back from day-to-day operations to sit on its board and knows this transition from the inside, and Jean-Guy Roche who just celebrated the 25th anniversary of Rcarré-Rcube and is preparing everything for his company to thrive and outlast his tenure as founder and CEO. So here are the 3 things I'm

- So I had 1 minute to explain the BeAngels Tracker… Well I have to say, shooting this video was way more complicated than getting in the tracker itself. But I did it! For everyone who’d like to invest in start-ups, but not make it a second job, just take a short call with Clotilde Annez, our General Manager. Link in the comments. Investing in early-stage, unlisted companies carries a high level of risk, including potential total loss of capital. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
