What founders are saying about us

"The fundmanager makes an immense contribution as a board member and unwavering supporter of our company. His advice to the management team is consistently balanced, ambitious and very well thought through and as a person an immensely nice colleague to work alongside.”

Leonard Donnelly, CEO, Waylay
" Meanwhile, we have been collaborating with Marc and Jan from Angelwise for several years. Each time, they provide us with valuable insights and serve as an appreciated sounding board to assess strategic decisions. Their extensive experience with startups and scale-ups truly makes a difference.”

Dominique Adriansens, CEO Twikey
"The fund managers, Jan and Marc, are always available as a sounding board and can also bridge the gap between the management and the larger VC shareholders.”

Stan Claes, CEO Accelleran
“Angelwise is a true business partner. They are hands-on and actively help us to tackle business problems and opportunities. On top of that, they are true visionaries helping us build a global category-leading product.”

Frie Pétré, CEO Qollabi
"The value of Angelwise lies not only in the money they invest but also in the knowledge, experience, and connections they share. Angelwise nurtures growth and flourishing!"

Marc Strackx, CEO PerfectID
"In the world of venture capital, there is often talk of 'smart money.' However, as a founder, you may be even more in search of 'positive money': investors who are willing to take risks and stand by your side with an open mind to help you grow, provide you the opportunity to navigate a learning curve, and consistently collaborate to elevate your business to a higher level. We have had the privilege of having AAAFund/Angelwise on board as an early investor - they undoubtedly played a crucial role in our subsequent success."

Carl Jacobs, CEO Apicbase
"At dScribe, Angelwise provided us with no-nonsense and valuable insights both during the seed round and beyond. They have been a significant source of commercial and management advice for us."

Pieter Delaere, CEO dScribe
"During the seed round, Angelwise, as the lead investor, consistently took our founders' wishes into account. They demonstrated the necessary flexibility and creativity to achieve a favorable outcome. Due to Angelwise's extensive experience and expertise in B2B software, they are the ideal partner for us. We look forward to further collaboration with Angelwise to assist us in our international growth in the most efficient manner."

Wouter Kloosterman, CEO en Lemar Bachtiar, CFO Authic Labs
"Angelwise has been a great partner, giving us real, straightforward advice and support throughout the fundraising process. Their Due Diligence helped us improve our organizational structure & team collaboration. After the investment, their honesty and shared vision to make a difference made working with them a fantastic experience. Especially their networking events on specific topics, like GTM strategy or Sales. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to back my venture."

Batist Leman, CEO Azumuta
