About us

Med Angels is a federation of Mediterranean angel networks. As a network of networks, we are focused on facilitating cross-border investing and syndicating deals among participating Mediterranean angel networks.

Med Angels aims to facilitate cross-borders capital flow and increase foreign (direct) investment into innovative sectors in the Mediterranean region with a focus on early stage investing. The Med Angels network aims to increase the cooperation as well as the engagement of private investors in the economic future of the Mediterranean region.

Med Angels main activity is facilitating cross-border angel investing, syndication among the angel investors' networks, and the culture of angel investing more generally including, as relevant, awareness, publications, convening of events, training, and certifications, among others. Med Angels activities aim to promote start-ups and scaling them up for growth, with the attendant benefits of creating more economic opportunities – local and regional – and jobs.

The Mediterranean is a beautiful place. With temperate climates, sparkling blue waters, and abundant natural resources, it's no surprise that some of the earliest civilizations in Africa and Eurasia developed around the Mediterranean Sea. It's also unsurprising that these various civilizations decided to form close relationships. Throughout history, the Mediterranean Sea was the center of expansive networks of communication and trade, and ancient people first used it to not only connect the region, but indeed later on the entire world. The establishment of a Business Angel Investment Network that connects innovation hubs and local entrepreneurship ecosystems across Mediterranean countries could go a long way towards developing startups and innovative enterprises in the region. The improved flow of capital from national but also regional investors will help transform the economies in the Mediterranean basin, creating thousands of jobs in the process. The startup ecosystem has flared all around the world. Whereas, having a complete startup ecosystem demands the presence of essential core pillars. However, the lack of Business Angels connecting this overlooked region is a vital missing pillar. The network will provide early stage access to capital, access to business networks, and mentoring, aside from promoting cross-border investment.
