Uruguay - The Global Business Angels Network (GBAN) announced today that URUCAP is the newest organization to join its inclusive global community of early-stage investor networks.
GBAN, part of the Global Entrepreneurship Network, has more than 80 members that meet regularly to share mentorship, training and support to improve investor capacity, amplify the angel voice on regulatory issues, facilitate cross-border investing and remove policy barriers faced by investors.
“A global approach to early-stage investor capacity building is needed to ensure entrepreneurs – who are leading the charge when it comes to creating jobs – have access to the right capital at the right time,” said Jonathan Ortmans, president of the Global Entrepreneurship Network and board director at GBAN. “We are thrilled that URUCAP is committed to joining us in this work.”
URUCAP is a non-profit association that brings together venture and seed capital firms, as well as angel investors, companies from various fields and other key actors.
“We are an association made up of angel Investors with different levels of experience, so associating with GBAN will allow us to offer them training, information and different types of resources,” said Sara Golberg, executive director of URUCAP.
GBAN is led by a global board of directors with members based in Africa, North America, Asia, Europe and Latin America. It meets virtually monthly and in person once a year. The next GBAN Annual Summit will be in Indiana, USA at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in June 2025.
