The Crowd Angel

What The Crowd Angel does

The Crowd Angel, operating under the legal entity Dozen Investments (founded 2012, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain), is a CNMV-authorized and supervised equity crowdfunding platform that connects Spanish retail investors with a curated pipeline of early-stage startups. The platform enables 100% online investment workflows — from opportunity analysis through deal execution and ongoing portfolio reporting — using standardized investment contracts based on venture capital best practices. Through a 2% selection rate (98% of analyzed startups rejected), the company positions itself on deal-flow quality rather than volume, and offers co-investment opportunities alongside major Spanish and European venture capital funds at the same valuation and terms.

The platform's core product is a self-service investor portal (investors.dozeninvestments.com) that supports account registration, deal browsing, ticket execution at a €1,000 minimum per operation, and follow-on participation in future funding rounds. Payment processing is handled via a partnership with Lemon Way, and professional services / ecosystem support is provided through relationships with KPMG, ACCIÓ Generalitat de Catalunya, and Start4big. The active portfolio includes Glovo, Buguroo, Innovamat, Cuideo, Yego, Stayforlong, Amadix, Pangea, and World Mastery, with a current open round for RunnerPro (an AI-enhanced running application). The platform has facilitated 209 investment rounds and over €40 million in deployed capital to date.

The business model is a transaction-fee structure on facilitated investments, monetizing a percentage of capital deployed through each round. Distribution is digital-first and product-led: content marketing, SEO, LinkedIn/X organic social, and email newsletter drive top-of-funnel acquisition of retail investors in Spain, with no disclosed channel partners or international footprint beyond an "Inversor extranjero" entry point. The company operates with a very small team (1–10 employees) and has not disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or cap table details in the available source material.
