We help remove barriers for new angels, sharpen the skills of experienced investors, and equip the wider service ecosystem (e.g. lawyers, tax advisors, consultants and coaches, developers, private bankers) with practical investing know-how.

We do this through workshops and a comprehensive training program that prepares candidates for the Certified Business Angel (CBA) exam and connects graduates through the CBA Circle.

Because Europe’s early-stage ecosystem needs a stronger evidence base, we blend practice with research in partnership with universities and share insights through lectures, seminars, and panel discussions.

Candidates who pass a written test and oral hearing administered by our independent ISO-certified examination partner earn the CBA designation and commit to the CBA Code of Ethics.

Our courses are designed for investors, start-ups, founders, and any persons interested in angel investing and deliver specific best practices as well as underlying principles and a broad spectrum of perspectives. Even experienced angels will significantly expand their horizons and hone their methods, while newcomers gain a thorough understanding of the whole process. Representatives of organizations dealing with early-stage investment issues and of the surrounding service industry have also found our training program useful in the past.
