Last night marked the final Investor Night of 2024 and the end of BeAngels' 25th year. But don’t worry—we’re just getting started! What you might have missed: - Innovation without limits: Three startups and one scale-up (presented with the support of our partner Verve Ventures) showcased projects across sectors like energy, telecom/aerospace, impact investing/smart cities, and security/Ai. BeAngels continues to support a broad spectrum of industries, proving there are no boundaries to innovation within our community. - A packed house: 140 attendees filled TheMerode, creating an electric atmosphere with insightful conversations and meaningful connections. 30% Dutch-speaking attendees, zalig!, This is not simply a number, something is changing. BeAngels is aiming for a true national reach and reinforcing its role as a nationwide platform for investors and entrepreneurs. - Exclusive insights: Our partner ABN AMRO Private Banking Belgique, with a standout presentation led by Eleonore Lamberty, shared their vision for sustainable growth in Belgium, offering valuable insights for our audience. Sorry, we can’t reveal more 🤐 —that’s the magic of our events. You have to be there to truly experience it. Why it matters: These evenings are more than just pitches—they are opportunities to witness groundbreaking ideas, connect with forward-thinking individuals, and play a role in shaping the future. A big thank you to TheMerode and their fantastic team for hosting us in such an inspiring venue, and to ABN AMRO Private Banking Belgique for partnering with us to broaden the scope of wealth management for private investors. To everyone who joined us, your engagement and enthusiasm made this evening a true highlight. 2024 has been an extraordinary journey, and we’re excited to see what 2025 will bring. Stay tuned for more opportunities to be part of the action! #Startup #Entrepreneurship #InvestorsNights #ABNAMRO #BeAngels #2024
