Help build Hungary's next success stories
Join the early-stage investors who give back: support founders, meet remarkable people, and invest in companies worth believing in.
What we believe
We believe every successful business leader and entrepreneur should invest their time, effort and capital in the next generation of founders.
HunBAN is building the environment where that feels natural, for Hungarians at home, for foreigners living in Hungary, and for Hungarians abroad. We're turning angel investing from a rare exception into a habit for Hungary's business community.
What you get back
Giving comes first. But it gives back too.
For the heart
- Meet interesting people from every corner of the ecosystem
- Help young founders grow, with your time and experience
- Be part of a success story from day one
- Back a grassroots initiative built and shaped by its members
For the head
- Curated deal flow from startups we've already screened
- Personal warm intros, based on detailed investor and founder profiles
- Learning from the best of the ecosystem
- A community of like-minded investors
- And, hopefully, good returns
A year with HunBAN
Every month
Startup Arena
Founders pitch, investors listen, and the best conversations carry on after the event.
In between
Warm intros
We connect investors and founders based on detailed profiles, so every intro makes sense for both sides.
Every quarter
The club
Professional sessions for the whole network, and informal club evenings for association members.
It doesn't stop at funding. We help founders find the people they need to build a real success story, and our investors are part of that from the start.
Start in the network and step inside when you're ready
No pressure, no deadline.

Membership
Membership is what keeps HunBAN running. We're a grassroots initiative creating value for the whole ecosystem, funded by the people who believe in it.
We invite angels and investors connected to Hungary to back our vision by joining the association. Members are the core of the community and the main focus of our work: they put in the most, and they're closest to the action.
Membership types
Community membership
For angels who aren’t investing right now, but want to be part of it.
Professional membership
For angels who are actively investing.
Institutional membership
For VCs, CVCs, incubators and accelerators.
Membership has an annual fee. On top of that, members can choose to give a voluntary contribution. We'll walk you through it when we talk.
