Investors
Online and Interactive Deal Flow
Are you looking to get access to ambitious companies, with growth potential? Are you looking to invest in new high potential start ups from Irelands emerging knowledge sector? Are you looking to take control over your own investment strategy and share your expertise and skills in order to maximise returns on investment? If so then HBAN is interested in hearing from you. By registering with HBAN we can give you online access to investment opportunities that fit your investment criteria.
HBAN uses the AngelSoft platform to share and access deal flow online. By registering with HBAN you will get access to the AngelSoft platform from where you can view video pitches, access new deal flow as it emerges, and relevant documentation on each investment opportunity. This facilitates management of the investment process and your investment portfolio.
HBAN Angel Network
HBAN can connect you with some of Ireland’s best investment prospects in Software, Clean Technologies, Medical Devices, and Digital Media/Web. Engagement with HBAN means you will be part of one of Ireland’s most active Angel Networks.

Syndicates
HBAN is responsible for the development of angel investor syndicates in Ireland. If you are interested in forming or joining an existing syndicate, HBAN will endeavour to connect you with active angel investors with similar investment interests who wish to share their knowledge and expertise in an effort to mitigate risk through building a diversified portfolio of investments with other like minded investors.
Share The Risks - Making investments in unquoted businesses involves a significant risk. By investing alongside a range of other investors and funds, those risks can be minimised and spread across a much wider portfolio than any individual is likely to be able to find and deal with by themselves. Of course, sharing the investment involves sharing the returns, but it also shares any losses.
Share The Workload - Investment assessment, negotiating terms and looking after an investment portfolio can be very time consuming and often those most able to afford to make such investments have the least time available. Normally one or more members will ‘lead’ an investment. This may be where they found the opportunity first or have a particular interest or relevant skills to contribute. They may, if they wish, make the largest individual investment, with other members taking a more passive role and perhaps offering a smaller investment.
This also provides an opportunity for less experienced investors to learn from more experienced members during their first few deals. One investing member is then likely to take on a non-executive directorship role in the investee company and represent all of the investors’ interests.
Getting Started
To get involved with HBAN simply submit a membership application or contact the HBAN team. There is an annual administration fee of €100 ex VAT for HBAN Membership.
