Once you decide to raise funds, you’ll spend weeks looking for Business Angels.
Now with Investor Profiles, you can directly see if you fit their investment thesis.
Even better, we’ve created a list of top BAs on Folk, the CRM we used to raise our own seed.

The new go-to destination for any serious fundraising !
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?
