NEXT Amsterdam joins European Super Angel Club
The European Super Angel Club (ESAC) is a pan-European angel network, operating out of Vienna, Austria. The initiative promotes expertise, exchange of experience, and financial support for European talents. The focus is on startups in an already more advanced stage.
At the heart of the ESAC are the recurring roadshows, in which five selected startups are presented at several European hubs to network partners, innovation-seeking groups and investors. As a special incentive, the club’s board of directors invites selected startups to “satellite events” — with the last one taking place in New York City.
With NEXT Amsterdam as their local partner in the Netherlands, the club is also able to focus more on startups in the early stage. NEXT will co-invest with the ESAC and provide the early stage startups with their hands-on incubator program. In return, ESAC and its partners from Venionaire are acting as local venture partners and experts in the Alpine Region.
Joint negotiations with the first early stage startup are already underway and the ESAC and NEXT hope to announce the deal by the end of the summer.
