The Crowd Angel
Description
The Crowd Angel, founded in 2015 and based in Barcelona, Spain, emerged as a pioneering equity crowdfunding platform dedicated to facilitating investments in high-growth Spanish startups. It quickly established itself as a significant player in the regional venture capital landscape, connecting individual investors with promising early-stage companies. In 2021, the platform underwent a strategic evolution, rebranding and expanding its operational scope to become Dozen Investments. This transformation allowed the entity to broaden its investment thesis and enhance its value proposition, transitioning from a pure crowdfunding model to a more comprehensive investment firm while maintaining its core focus on innovative ventures.
As Dozen Investments, the firm continues its mission to support the Spanish startup ecosystem, primarily targeting Seed and Series A funding rounds. The platform is known for facilitating substantial capital injections, with typical round sizes ranging from €300,000 to €2,000,000 for the companies it backs. Since its inception as The Crowd Angel, the combined entity has played a crucial role in channeling significant capital into the startup scene. By 2023, the firm had invested over €40 million across more than 100 startups, demonstrating its consistent activity and impact within the market.
Dozen Investments maintains a strong emphasis on technology and innovation, actively seeking out companies with robust business models and scalable solutions. While individual investors can participate in deals with a minimum ticket of €3,000, the platform's primary function is to aggregate these smaller investments into larger, impactful funding rounds for startups. The average ticket size for the rounds facilitated by Dozen Investments stands at approximately €500,000, underscoring its commitment to providing meaningful capital to its portfolio companies. This strategic approach positions Dozen Investments as a key enabler for Spanish startups looking to scale and innovate within the competitive European market.
