UNITING THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ANGELS

angel·fund

The Accumulator Angel Fund was created to help angel investors diversify their portfolio and distribute risk across multiple assets with lower volatility, creating a safer investment option.

Angels can join the fund by exchanging their company shares or by investing cash.

In exchange, they receive the equivalent value of the Accumulator fund, becoming investors in category-leading companies by leveraging their capital or the value of their equity.

Every time one of the portfolio companies enjoys an exit, all members cash out a pro-rata share.

Arete Index

Highlighting the World's Most Value-Creating Angel Investors

The 2024 Arete Index is the world’s most comprehensive list of angel investors, featuring the top 1,000 angels who are adding the most value to the startup economy.

Angel investors play a pivotal role in the global startup ecosystem by providing essential early-stage capital when the risk of failure is high and traditional investors are hesitant. These individuals assume significant risk, bridging the gap in preliminary funding, and driving innovation and economic growth. In 2023, angel investors in the U.S. alone funded over 19,000 startups with a total investment of over $30 billion. Despite their critical contributions, the invaluable support of angel investors often remains unseen by the public.

Oskar Hartmann, Founders Forum Group, and the Accumulator Angel Fund joined forces to build the 2024 Arete Index, to celebrate angels worldwide and highlight the significant value they bring to the global economy.

The Arete Index evaluates angel investors by considering numerous factors, including the number, amount, and success of an angel’s investments, their ability to support startups beyond their financial assistance through network introductions, mentoring and coaching, and finally, the investor's impact on the growth and development of their invested companies.
