History

The France Angels association has been created in 2001 by people with various backgrounds (regional developers, individual Business Angels, coach of entrepreneurs, etc.). At that time, there were few Business Angels in France with few visibility and credibility although they already played a key role in Great Britain and in the United States in founding young businesses in expansion. Thus, France Angels has been created in order to:

• Promote investment by Business Angels in France in order to quickly and strongly increase their number and thus make this resource available to as many entrepreneurs as possible who are looking for funding,
• Represent Business Angels within French and European institutions, public and private, notably in order to create favourable conditions for the development of this activity,
• Accompany the development of Business Angels networks and professionalize their action by facilitating the exchange of « best practices » between networks themselves, and between the networks and external partners (seed funding and venture capital organizations in particular), at a regional, national and international level.
