Danube Angels

Danube Angels operates an equity crowdfunding platform, offering shares in unlisted early-stage businesses or business ventures in exchange for participation in their future profits. Danube Angels is run by Danube Angels GmbH, based in Austria. It hasn't been licensed by a relevant supervisory authority.

Danube Angels makes it possible to provide funding to business owners by investing in startup stocks. You can also apply for funding if you are a business owner.

At Danube Angels, you can invest in projects denominated in EUR starting from €1,000.

Danube Angels separates investors’ funds from the platform company assets but doesn’t have a wind-down plan in place to ensure minimal damage in case the platform goes out of business. It doesn’t disclose statistics about its funded loans but shares its monthly funding volumes with P2PMarketData.
