EUROCROWD is pleased to announce its collaboration with the Early Stage Investing Launchpad (ESIL), a European Union funded initiative by META Group, Business Angels Europe and bpifrance, to provide strategic guidance on integrating crowdfunding under the European Crowdfunding Service Providers Regulation (ECSPR) into professional business angel investments. This partnership aims to provide guidance and facilitate co-investments and cross-border investments for business angel networks, thereby enriching the European early-stage investment landscape.
ESIL is dedicated to strengthening angel investment communities across Europe, with a particular focus on countries where such ecosystems are still developing. By fostering a connected and diverse network of business angels in collaboration with crowdfunding, EUROCROWD seeks to bolster innovation and investment opportunities throughout the continent.
EUROCROWD brings extensive expertise in early stage investments, in this context in particular offering valuable insights into the ECSPR framework. This knowledge is crucial for ESIL to navigate the complexities of crowdfunding regulations and leverage these platforms for co-investment opportunities.
