A live Radar profile makes your company discoverable by our investor community and puts you in line for pitch invites when you move into active fundraising.Create a clear, up-to-date profile with traction, team and fundraising plans — we review every submission and surface the most relevant opportunities to our angels.

Is Your Startup Ready for Angel Investment?

HunBAN focuses on early-stage companies with potential for high returns. Apply if your company:

  • Located in the European Union

  • Expected fund from angels is between €50k and €150k

  • A strong business plan is a must have

Simple Application Process

1. Create Your Profile
Fill out the HunBAN Radar form with accurate details about your startup, your traction, and your fundraising plans. This keeps us updated and ensures our investors have the right information about you.

2. Profile Review
Our team will review your submission to make sure it fits our scope and is complete. We might reach out for clarifications or fine-tuning before your profile goes live.

Once approved, your profile goes live on the HunBAN Radar, making you visible to our community of business angels and partners.

4. Fundraising Status Check
In the form, select your fundraising stage (e.g., No fundraising, Expected round in 3 months, Active fundraising). This helps us determine when you’re ready for deeper engagement or pitching opportunities.
