I have recently had the honour of being made President of the ESADE Alumni Business Angels Club (CEI).
We are very excited about beginning this new stage in the club’s history. Starting with the ESADE Alumni collective, our aim is to boost and facilitate entrepreneurial and investment activity across society in general. To do so, we have come up with an ambitious action plan, which we intend to implement immediately. The plan includes an intensive build-up of our forum of angels (renamed ESADE BAN), in order to make it the undisputed leader nationally. Thus, the creation and launch of ACCELERATOR, a programme designed to boost and facilitate entrepreneurial and investment activity through a range of tools. We also plan to set up the Entrepreneurial Orientation Centre (COE), in order to inform and to "disclose" to entrepreneurs the many mechanisms available to facilitate their activity. Finally, we will be promoting the Business Information Output Institute (IDE), so as to spread information, knowledge and best practices.
At the regional level, the Business Angels Club in Madrid will be set up to step up the Club's activities in the city. The possibility of expanding this type of model to other areas will be considered at a later date.
We invite you to join the Club to participate in this with us, and to take advantage of all the benefits of becoming part of our network. Your comments and input will be very useful to the Club; the more we participate and collaborate in it, the more valuable our network becomes and the more possibilities we will have to share experiences and learn from each other.
We also hope to see you at our events, which will be announced this page, in the fortnightly ESADE Alumni newsletter, and individual notifications sent whenever appropriate.
