AVA Angels recently completed the fundraising of the "Anfayuan Angel Capital" angel fund, inviting outstanding investors to participate to fill the gap of insufficient early-stage funds in Taiwan and accelerate the creation of a new early-stage investment model. This fund will focus on strategic and critical issues such as digital transformation, Web3 and ESG, continue to discover early-stage investment projects with long-term value, empower new startup teams with great future potential, use Taiwan as a fulcrum, and work with the team to grasp the trend of economic globalization and build a strategy to enter the world battlefield.

In recent years, in an environment of rapid industry iteration, the investment industry must also evolve rapidly. Angel investors have rich entrepreneurial and industry experience, and venture capital funds have a complete mechanism for investment processes and management. The angel organization AVA Angels, established in 2021, combines the advantages of "angel investment" and "venture capital funds" to create a new investment model. AVA founder JJ explained, "We firmly believe that in terms of investment energy, if we can invest together with entrepreneurs with rich industry experience and experts with management and operation experience in various fields, we will be able to deliver more value to the invested team."

Compared with traditional venture capital funds, AVA, which adheres to the Angel to Venture positioning, has more diverse investment energy; entrepreneurial teams can interact directly with all investors to obtain feedback and resources; at the same time, as the startup teams enter different stages of growth, AVA's angel investors with diverse backgrounds can also provide the teams with the necessary empowerment at different stages. Overall, the energy of investment and post-investment management will evolve and iterate to help the team cope with the ever-changing market environment. The value created by this unique model has also created great value in the teams invested in the past. Among the 9 teams AVA has invested in, the average revenue growth in 2021 exceeded 100%, and 3 of them are about to complete the next round of fundraising in the near future, with an expected valuation increase of 3-10 times.

In addition to financial support, the greatest value that AVA brings to startup teams is to provide diversified and in-depth industry support. In addition to a wide range of investment experience, the investors’ backgrounds also cover industries such as overseas expansion, cross-border e-commerce, education, media, tourism, games, semiconductors, automobiles, construction, and blockchain, and have participated in investment and operation experience in international markets such as Taiwan, China, and the United States. "The value that the AVA investment team possesses is experience and industry knowledge that is difficult for any single investment organization to have," said JJ.

After establishing the first angel fund, AVA will expand its cooperation with Taiwan's startup ecosystem, assist incubators and startup accelerators to more effectively empower startup teams, and cooperate with growth-oriented venture capital funds at home and abroad to accelerate the growth of investment teams, so that Taiwan can become a key global player in the future. AVA will also continue to invite partners who aspire to become angel investors to join.
