AEBAN is the Spanish Association of agents and business angels that carry out direct private investment activity in early stages such as networks, groups and clubs of investors, family offices, companies, accelerators, incubators and venture builders, equity crowdfunding platforms and companies that carry out corporate venturing activities.
The Spanish Association of Business Angels Networks (AEBAN) has been supporting the sector in Spain for more than 15 years and helping the ecosystem in different areas:
- Bringing together all networks of investors and other agents involved in early stage private investment activities and is a forum for the exchange of information, experiences and projects.
- Promoting reflection on specific issues affecting private investors by acting as an interlocutor with public or private institutions.
- Encouraging learning and constant updating of knowledge among the members of the association, among others, by identifying, promoting and sharing "best practices" in the development of the activity and in investment processes.
- Conducting regular studies on the private investment market and disseminating information on the sector. As a sample, I attach the Report on activity in Spain in 2022 that we have just published and which I also enclose.
With a total of 33 members in 10 autonomous communities throughout Spain, AEBAN's main mission is to promote the activity of Business Angels and Business Angels networks in Spain.
Organisational Structure
AEBAN is organised around the General Assembly of Members, which meets twice a year, and the Executive Committee, which is convened as often as it may be determined.
The General Assembly of Members is the supreme governing body of AEBAN and is made up of all its members, whether associate or adherent. Each AEBAN member has one vote.
