The business angel club SICTIC has seen continuous growth in the number of angel investors joining the club (from 91 to 171 in 2017) and in attendance at its events, the angel trainings and Investor days. While angel trainings equip investors with necessary skills on investing, the venture days give them the opportunity to meet early and later stage technology based startups that are looking for funds and professional support.
