GoBeyond
Description
Go Beyond Investing is a prominent global angel investor network headquartered in Switzerland, dedicated to democratizing access to angel investing as an asset class for individuals. Established in 2008, the firm operates on a unique model that aggregates capital from a large network of private investors, enabling them to collectively fund promising early-stage companies. This approach provides individual angels with diversified deal flow, structured due diligence, and the opportunity to participate in larger funding rounds than they might typically undertake alone, while also offering startups access to significant capital and a broad base of experienced mentors.
The network primarily focuses on early-stage companies, typically ranging from Seed to Series A rounds, across a diverse array of sectors. Go Beyond Investing seeks out ventures with strong growth potential and innovative solutions. Their typical first cheque into a company ranges from approximately €200,000 to €1,000,000. Since its inception, Go Beyond has successfully supported over 100 companies, helping them collectively raise more than €100 million in capital.
Go Beyond's extensive reach is underscored by its network of over 1,000 members spanning more than 30 countries, making it a truly international player in the angel investment landscape. Beyond capital provision, the firm emphasizes investor education and mentorship, fostering a sophisticated community of angel investors. This robust ecosystem not only facilitates crucial funding for nascent businesses but also cultivates a knowledgeable investor base, contributing significantly to the development of the global startup ecosystem.
