BIGBAN Investors Spain

What BIGBAN Investors Spain does

BIGBAN Investors Spain is a non-profit association (legal name BIGBAN Inversores Privados, N.I.F. G98082050) founded in 2007 in Valencia and headquartered at C/ Quart 104, 46008 Valencia. Originally established as CV Ban and later known as BigBan Angels, the organization rebranded to its current name in 2021 when it expanded from a regional Valencia-based angel network to a national Spanish private investor association. It operates as a membership-based community connecting startups seeking early-stage funding with a broad spectrum of private capital — business angels, venture capital funds, corporate/CVC arms, family offices, investment clubs, and banking/institutional investors — distributed across all Spanish provinces and autonomous communities. The organization reports facilitating financing for 300+ startups through 17+ co-investment vehicles and 60+ investment forums, with 10 investment schools delivered since inception.

Its core product is an integrated platform spanning dealflow, training, networking, co-investment, and information services. The Portal DEALFLOW provides filtered startup investment opportunities with vertical filtering and pitch deck access; BIGBAN School delivers structured training on investment fundamentals, deal evaluation, term sheets, cap tables, and exit strategies; BIGBAN Connect and BIGBAN Meets host regional and exclusive networking events; BIGBAN Club structures co-investment vehicles among members; and BIGBAN Reports, Daily Bulletin, BIGBAN Talks, and BIGBAN Class provide ongoing content. The flagship BIGBAN Investors Congress, now in its 11th edition (November 26–27, 2025), functions as Spain's premier annual private investment event and includes the Premios BIGBAN awards ceremony.

The business model is membership-subscription based, with four annual tiers: Individual (€500/year for business angels, clubs, and family offices), Partner (€1,500/year for VCs, corporates, accelerators, and crowdfunding platforms), Partner Plus (€5,000/year for law firms, universities, and consultants), and Global Partner (price on inquiry, for banks, private equity, and large consultancies). All tiers include dealflow access, event entry, and training resources, with escalating benefits at higher tiers. Supplementary revenue derives from event sponsorships and a nominative €20,000 subsidy received from the Diputación de València in 2023. The organization is governed by a board led by President Pedro de Álava (Fund Manager at Clave Capital) and operates with a small operational team under Director Alberto Andújar.
