EGADE Business School - Tecnológico de Monterrey, Universidad Panamericana, the Mexican Association of Private Equity and Venture Capital Funds (AMEXCAP) and AngelHub Ventures joined forces to launch the First Study on Angel Investment in Mexico.

The objective of this study is to identify and understand the profile of the angel investor in Mexico, a key player in the ecosystem and financing cycle of early-stage startups.

To conduct the study, a digital survey will be launched among hundreds of Mexican angel investors to collect aggregate information on their profiles, investment strategies, industry preferences and project selection criteria.

In addition, the study will also analyze how their participation contributes to the success and growth of the startups in which they invest.

“This study will bring huge benefits to the Mexican entrepreneurial ecosystem since to date there is insufficient information on this important player (angel investor) that complements other players, such as Entrepreneurial Capital Funds or Corporate Entrepreneurial Capital Funds,” mentioned Liliana Reyes, CEO of AMEXCAP.

WHAT IS AN ANGEL INVESTOR?

An angel investor is an individual who wants to diversify his or her portfolio by investing in start-ups and also often providing support through advice or business connections. These investors play a fundamental role in offering timely and necessary financing so that new companies can progress and grow, thus driving countries’ economic and social wellbeing.

“Angel investors are key pillars in Mexico's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Their support translates not only into capital, but also accompaniment, mentoring and even connections. The timely support of an angel investor for an entrepreneurial project is pivotal to its lifecycle… often meaning the difference between reaching the next level or not making it,” commented Mario García Dávila, Managing Partner of AngelHub Ventures.
