Overview

BIGBAN Investors Spain is a non-profit association founded in Valencia in 2007, first known as CV Ban and later BigBan Angels, that trains investors and connects them with early-stage startups. Since a national expansion in 2021 its members include business angels, family offices, VC funds, corporates and investment clubs across Spain. It does not manage capital itself: validated startups are sent to members through its deal-flow portal, and members can co-invest through club co-investment vehicles. As shown on its home page (read 2026-10-07), it reports 200+ members, €55M of investment, 17+ co-investment vehicles and 300+ startups funded; other pages give different counts (see notes).

Investment thesis

Innovative pre-seed, seed and early-stage startups with a developed or tested product, a scalable model and a committed team, raising a round, with a maximum company valuation of €8M.
