Arches Capital

What is Arches Capital?

Arches Capital is an angel network and investment fund that bridges the gap between venture capitalists (VCs) and business angels by combining the best attributes of both.

They position themselves as active business angels who also implement the professional sourcing, selection, and investment strategies commonly found in VCs. Arches Capital focuses on investing smart capital in early-stage companies that are ready to scale quickly.

Their unique selling proposition is the bundling of funding with substantial business knowledge and experience, alongside genuine engagement with the portfolio companies to drive rapid growth and success. Their investor group comprises seasoned entrepreneurs and experts with profound expertise in various fields, including FinTech, Data Science, Commerce, Cybersecurity, MedTech, and more. By leveraging the knowledge and experience of its members, known as Archangels, Arches Capital provides valuable insights and a strong network to its investees.

Arches Capital differentiates from other syndicates or funds by not only engaging in initial investments but also supporting subsequent funding rounds for their successful portfolio companies, leading or contributing to follow-on investments.

They have a clear interest in B2B or B2B2C software companies located in the Benelux region but are open to outstanding teams with promising products outside of this locality. They seek equity in exchange for their investment and place emphasis on well-balanced teams with compelling products, existing clients, repeatable sales models, and the ability to articulate their market opportunity and competitive landscape.

The angel network provides professional deal structuring at fair costs by using standardized documentation based on modern and fair market standards.

Their portfolio showcases diversity within the B2B software space, including investments in companies offering solutions in power, AI conversational platforms, office space as a service, cost and performance management, healthcare platforms, talent management, multi-tenant WordPress, low code, AI-based HR assessments, online travel tools, intelligence defense, anti-money laundering compliance, design thinking activation, objection to traffic fines, collaborative coding environments, charging station data, immune system analysis, and online background screening.
