EBAN and the Georgian Business Angel Network (AXEL) have joined forces to establish a "Gateway to Europe" committee, aimed at fostering stronger connections between the startup and investment landscapes across Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. This committee's formation marks a significant step toward enhancing economic ties between Europe and the CAREC region. Its objectives include promoting investment, facilitating knowledge exchange, and advocating for supportive policies, all of which are poised to positively impact the economic development of both regions. Central Asia and the Caucasus stand as burgeoning economic hubs, brimming with investment potential and opportunities for collaboration with Europe. Georgia, strategically positioned within this landscape, naturally serves as a vital link between Europe and the broader region. The primary mission of the "Gateway to Europe" Committee is to unite business angel networks from the CAREC region and Europe, fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and the identification of investment prospects. By bridging these networks, our aim is to empower entrepreneurs to launch and expand businesses, stimulate innovation, and fortify the regional economy. Simultaneously, we aim to unveil fresh investment avenues for European business angels, enriching their portfolios and fostering cross-border cooperation. You can register here for this event on February 27 at 3pm CET.

Don't miss out the Ultimate Alpha Strategy: Mastering Early-Stage Tech Investments! Investor Workshop with Investment Banker turned "Super Angel" turned VC Ian Sosso Building direct exposure to early-stage start-ups can not only be a very profitable strategy but is vital for institutional investors, family offices and private investors alike in a world where we are seeing a redistribution of wealth towards tech businesses and tech entrepreneurs. There is strong evidence that small, emerging managers outperform large established managers in venture capital. But there is also a growing number of investors who are investing directly in early-stage businesses. We have seldom met one that is not either already investing or at least considering it. Yet, finding the right investment formula has been challenging for many: loss of capital in the first few investments, inadequate deal flow, lack of understanding of the due diligence process and investment process, ticket size too small for institutional investors to warrant the time and effort, etc. Casual tech investors lose money. However, early stage venture investing is the ultimate alpha generation strategy: There is no index replication strategy. There is no proxy to being an active investor. But there is evidence that the leading angel and venture investors consistently generate substantial returns. So, we all love tech, we all want to get involved, but how do you intelligently participate in the future of tech? How do you build a strategy that makes sense, how do you get the best of a high performing venture fund and build both exposure and experience in direct investing, and why it is so important that you do? With a 7 year IRR of 38%, Ian Sosso, the Founder & Managing Partner of Monte Carlo Capital (www.montecarlocap.com), knows what he's talking about. Ian has over 15 years experience as a business angel and 16 years investment banking in Europe and Asia, and has built an award winning strategy that brings together the diversification and performance of a small venture fund, while offering his LPs significant direct co-investment opportunities. Join this exclusive investor workshop and learn: How to identify 20x investments Why early-stage investment is the ultimate alpha generation strategy What is the full cycle investment process, from deal sourcing, to due diligence, closing a deal and working with the company. What is the most difficult in early-stage investing? Why deal sourcing and due diligence are the main drivers of return The channels to source high value tech deals across verticals Why building tech investing know-how is not done by being a passive investor in funds. What you can do instead You will be able to tune in to this webinar from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
