Matching Business Angels and Companies

BioValley matches its members with interesting life science start-ups seeking risk capital and other resources. The focus is on projects located in the Basel area and the trinational BioValley cluster in the area of biotech, pharma, diagnostics and medtech in seed or early stage. The projects/companies are selected on the base of the submitted material, the general interest of the members of BioValley Basel and the experience of the team.

Angel investments may benefit entrepreneurs through exposure to a wider set of potential investors, and a structured process that facilitates relatively quick and efficient investment decisions. Angel investing represents a large and growing portion of early stage capital available to startup companies. Business angels typically invest between CHF 50k and CHF 200k per transaction individually, and from CHF 250k to CHF 1’000k as a group. On average, angels are patient, participate in multiple capital rounds, and have an overall investment horizon of up to eight years. We expect to hold 2-3 events per year with presenting companies selected by screening process. We evaluate based on management team, market opportunity, growth potential, stage, as well as other factors.
