Abstract

Seven angel networks emerged in Belgium in the 1998–2001 period. Together they completely covered the Belgian area: four in Flanders, two in Wallonia and one in Brussels. In the beginning of 2004, the four Flemish networks merged into one private non-profit organization: BAN Vlaanderen. In 2007, one of the Walloon networks merged with the one in Brussels to become a single private entity: Be Angels. As of April 2015, there are now two remaining networks in Belgium, one in Flanders and one in Wallonia. Together these represent around 400 angels and receive over 750 projects annually. Approximately 200 of these projects are presented at 35 investment events, resulting in 40-50 annual deals and a total of €8 million. Both networks also organize entrepreneur and investor training activities, such as business angel days.
