AEBAN (the Spanish Association of Business Angels) and BanClubs have signed a collaboration agreement to promote syndicated private investment in early-stage startups and innovative ventures.
The agreement aims to create synergies between the two organizations, facilitate knowledge sharing, and encourage investment clubs established by BanClubs to join the AEBAN ecosystem by becoming members of the association.
BanClubs provides services for the creation and launch of investment clubs, with a particular focus on raising awareness and promoting structures that enable private investors to pool their resources to invest in innovative entrepreneurship.
During 2026, BanClubs has supported the launch of three new investment clubs that have already begun investing: Nazarí Ventures, based in Granada; Invision Club Deal, in Mallorca; and Pinama Flex, in Madrid. Each club operates independently.
Each of these clubs aims to bring together more than 50 business angels and invest in at least 30 startups over the next four years, thereby expanding the base of private investors and making early-stage investing more accessible across different regions and business communities.
New Models to Bring Private Investment Closer to Startups
The partnership between AEBAN and BanClubs is built on a shared objective: enabling more investors to access startup investment opportunities through syndicated investment structures, while sharing knowledge, experience, and due diligence capabilities.
Investment clubs that join AEBAN will be able to participate in the association's activities, access networking opportunities with other ecosystem stakeholders, share co-investment opportunities, attend industry events, and benefit from training initiatives, knowledge generation, and industry outreach.
The agreement also provides for collaboration between both organizations to increase the visibility of their respective activities and to develop new initiatives focused on the creation, promotion, and development of investment clubs.
"This agreement allows us to further expand AEBAN's reach and bring the association's activities closer to new groups of investors and regions. Investment clubs are playing an increasingly important role in facilitating access to startup investing, fostering knowledge sharing, and supporting more informed investment decisions," said Marta Huidobro, President of AEBAN. Guillermo Soto, co-founder of BanClubs, added:
"BanClubs and AEBAN share the goal of channeling and strengthening private investment in early-stage innovative ventures through syndicated investment models. We are excited about this agreement's potential to enhance the value both organizations bring in building an outstanding investment experience for business angels across Spain."
Strengthening the Early-Stage Investment Ecosystem
AEBAN brings together business angel networks, investment clubs and investor groups, family offices, investment firms and funds, accelerators, incubators, venture builders, equity crowdfunding platforms, and other organizations involved in direct private investment at the early stages of company development.
Its objectives include promoting the exchange of information and best practices, fostering collaboration among investor networks, encouraging high industry standards, and representing the sector before public and private institutions.
The gradual incorporation of new investment clubs will strengthen the association's regional diversity while creating new connections among investors, startups, and other participants in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Through this agreement, AEBAN and BanClubs are taking another step toward building a more connected, accessible, and professional environment for private investment in innovative entrepreneurship, encouraging the emergence of new investors and supporting the continued growth of syndicated investment models for early-stage ventures.
