Informal investing via Investormatch

Have you made a profit from selling your successful business? Or have you obtained capital in another way? Rather than setting this capital aside for ‘the long-term’, it might be wise to invest in start-up companies, or companies in need of growth financing instead. 

Are you an informal investor?

As an informal investor you invest in companies where you see potential. You do not feel the need to sit in the entrepreneur’s chair, but rather you act as the entrepreneur’s coach or sounding board to help the company succeed. As an informal investor, in addition to your investment, you offer added value through valuable knowledge, experience and contacts. It is also possible that you contribute to the financial needs of the company, but that you prefer to stay in the background. In exchange, you become a co-owner of the company, owning shares in the organization.

How much do you invest as an informal investor?

This entirely depends on your capital and the financing needs of the company. It is up to you to weigh up the investment against the return that can be achieved. In many cases, it amounts to between €50,000 and €500,000.

Investor meeting

The investor meeting is an informal meeting where entrepreneurs present themselves and their company in three minutes. After this pitch you can ask questions. When all entrepreneurs have made their presentation, you can get to know each other over a few drinks. The investor meeting has already led to various successful collaborations, such as the case of jewelry label The Boyscouts, and maritime platform Onboard.
