Supporting women entrepreneurs and investors for the Europe we need!

[Marie-Elisabeth Rusling @M_ERusling]

These days I sit on investor panels, looking for top opportunities the EU should back. The only girl. Impressed by the fact that diversity questions on management teams - success factor! were asked by others. Why was I surprised? Why should I be?? Good stuff | glass half full?

[Marie-Elisabeth Rusling @M_ERusling]

The Belgian financial sector has taken diversity in its very capable hands #WomeninFinance shaking trees and shaping things for over a year. Setting the agenda and measuring progress. We look forward to cooperating with the EP and like-minded organisations in the sector.

Music to our business angels’ ears - not any more what if Europe could focus more on its top innovators but when it will implement the new thinking on a truly pan-EU scale @BAEurope

Cross border still remains a hurdle! Our Barometer shows only 10% of angels tackle the obstacle, @LuigiAmati2 @EBAN_org confirm it takes time to build trust! @BAEurope our BAE Club makes it top priority.

[Business Angels Europe @BAEurope]

At the #BACongress, @LuigiAmati2 of @BAEurope and @investedinvestr of @EBAN_org are presenting the first European Business Angels Barometer. 90 angels from 11 countries show a common thread: it is a good time to be business angel in Europe!

Great partnerships like the one #BAEurope enjoys with #bpifrance grow strong when constantly stimulated by events that bring Europe (and beyond)‘s ecosystems together. Today #Innogeneration was one of these days.

Time to exit is an important component of #angelreturns. ​The 2019 GoBeyond #Investor Report ​shows that time to exit has remained fairly consistent ​for our community ​averaging around 3 years from the time of investment. Download it here https://t.co/zFq6YFJGok

[Marie-Elisabeth Rusling @M_ERusling]

@BAEurope @Siftedeu @italianangels @GoBeyondNet @Womenangeling @BAEurope research across EU showed that crucial steps to involve more women in angel investment start with addressing clichés (not for me?!) + showcasing female role models to inspire (me too!). In less than 2 yrs, our angel networks doubled # of women angels

[Marie-Elisabeth Rusling @M_ERusling]

The case for a finalised single market could not be made any clearer, can Europe step up its pace to embrace the challenge and crack the case??? Let’s make the most of the next 5 years, starting now...

[Business Angels Europe @BAEurope]

President @LuigiAmati2 is now live at #IEW2019. Watch him speak about the importance of a true single market in Europe https://t.co/3WBOReF0Aq
