Get started in your angel investing journey
LatBAN connects and educates business angels to increase investment quality and quantity
Why angel investing?
You might believe that investors are only in it to make money, but for many, investing is a means to give back to the community, support the creation of successful companies, and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from being actively involved. Of course, angels also desire a respectable profit. As a member of the community, you have access to high-quality deal flow and the opportunity to collaborate with seasoned angels to share ideas and opinions before making an investment choice.

About Syndicate Investments
About Syndicate Investments
A syndicate investment is when a group of investors pool their resources to invest in a startup together. Instead of one investor taking on all the risk and capital requirements, a syndicate allows multiple investors to participate in a deal.
LatBAN syndicate investments are organized through ASP ASSET MANAGEMENT AIFP. It is an alternative investment fund management company registered with the Latvian Central Bank. This allows investors to invest smaller amounts in a larger number of projects, diversifying risk.
No, it won't. As a syndicate member you are investing in the startup together with other syndicate members through ASP Asset Management AIFP fund. ASP Asset Management invests in the startup on behalf of all syndicate members.
You can participate in syndicate investments with a minimum EUR 5K investment. The average investment ticket is between EUR 5K and EUR 15K.
There isn't a set amount of investment opportunities guaranteed as all startups go through LatBAN monthly pitching sessions and are determined by the member interest to invest.
