Why Join SSEAN

Joining SSEAN gives you a front row seat to discover early stage innovative businesses and support them just before they become commercially successful. This means getting potentially significant returns on investment while contributing to the development of the regions.

SSEAN helps mitigate the risk associated with investing in ‘very’ early stage startups as members typically co-invest with each other, bringing their combined experience to bear while helping the Startup grow and return the investment faster. Other members of the network work with or are connected with bigger Private Equity/VC organisations – which makes exit possible.

A typical member of SSEAN is a professional who is not politically exposed or of questionable income. This is to preserve the integrity of the business and protect the investment of SSEAN members. Additionally, s/he must be someone with a traceable/disposable income. This is because the possibility of losing an angel investment is real and therefore, we do not advise angel investing as a quick return scheme.
