Quality Deal Flow

At the heart of HBAN is a unique all island network of hubs that brings together the largest startup community on the island. These 5 hubs directly support over 1,000 startups and operate or host 30+ programmes. This is further strengthened with strong partnerships right across the ecosystem. We work with everyone.

We have strong working relationships with all the top-tier VCs and other investors across the island who are often seeking angels to participate in rounds and a strong network of top entrepreneurial mentors who will actively refer startups into the pipeline.

Developing a Thriving Angel Ecosystem
