Who we are
Italian Angels for Growth (IAG), the largest Angel
Group in Italy, was founded in 2007 as a non-profit
association, by nine Founding Members.
Nowadays IAG consists of about 120 members.
Our purpose is to promote entrepreneurship
as an engine of economic growth and a tool of
democracy in our country.
We strongly believe in the need to help new
entrepreneurs to rise and grow the companies of
the future.
Our organization is promoted and managed
exclusively by individual investors and we
operate in order to offer our members the best
opportunities to invest in. The Organization is,
therefore, totally apolitical and independent from
specific sources of deal flow, public or private
