Syndicate One is starting 2024 with a bang 💥
We are launching the next iteration of our angel investment network: bigger, better and bolder! 🚀
💰 With €4.8 million in fresh capital from institutional investors, families, and a whole generation of Belgian entrepreneurs (first close)
🤝 With 10 new team members bringing deep knowledge and experience from Deliverect, Collibra, N26 & other scale-ups
🇧🇪 With a renewed belief that together we can bring systemic change to the tech ecosystem in Belgium
Our deepest thanks for our investors and backers' trust and commitment.
We could not have dreamed of a better support to achieve the mission that matters to us all: reinforcing the cycle of entrepreneurial success in Belgium.
