• Experience as an investor: XPRENEURS is looking for business angels with proven experience in early-stage financing. A solid track record with successful investments is an advantage.

• Investment focus: Your investment focus should ideally align with the technology areas of the start-ups in the XPRENEURS program (B2B (deep-)tech).

• Network and expertise: A relevant network in the start-up scene and expertise in specific industries or functional areas (e.g., marketing, sales, finance) are valuable additions.

• Personal fit: The personal fit with XPRENEURS and the program's values also plays a role.

It is important to emphasize that there are no fixed, quantitative criteria (e.g., a specific number of investments). XPRENEURS reviews applications individually and considers the overall personality and experience of the potential business angel.
