Investment criteria

CBA members generally invest in early stage businesses in ICT, agribusiness, biotechnology,health and energy but also consider innovative projects in other fields.

You may want to consider applying if you are in the following cases:

• Your company requires pre-seed funding within the framework of an innovative project (Patenting, Prove of Concept, Business Plan completion…)
• Your company’s investment pattern is already set up but you need to strengthen its equity capital
• Your company is in the growing stage but needs a capital increase or financial restructuring

When deciding whether to invest in a company, CBA members additionally look for:

1. A disruptive product or technology
2. A large market opportunity
3. A sustainable competitive advantage
4. A great growth potential
5. A defensible business model / Intellectual property
6. A good management team
