The Commission will expand early-stage finance by strengthening Europe’s business angel community and its cross-border reach. Building on the Startup and Scaleup Strategy, support will target angel networks, syndication, and matchmaking platforms to improve deal flow, diversify funding across regions, and crowd-in private capital alongside EU instruments such as InvestEU and the EIC. Actions will address obstacles that limit cross-border angel investment and long lock-in periods, promote co-investment with venture funds, and encourage inclusive participation of women investors and founders.
