Balearic Business Angels (BBA): Driving Local Investment, Backing Global Ambition
BBA is a community of active investors in the Balearic Islands, focused on supporting early-stage startups with capital, mentorship, and local insight. Through investment committees, co-investment opportunities, and social events, BBA connects founders with engaged angels and helps Max Ventures build a thriving regional tech ecosystem.
When it comes to building a vibrant startup ecosystem in the Balearic Islands, Max Ventures knows that capital alone isn’t enough. That’s why the Balearic Business Angels (BBA) network exists: to connect local and visiting entrepreneurs with savvy, engaged investors who believe in the region’s long-term tech potential.
What Is BBA?
Balearic Business Angels (BBA) is a community of active investors who either live in the Balearics or invest here regularly. These aren’t passive backers, they’re people who want to roll up their sleeves, collaborate, and nurture early-stage ideas from the ground up.
How It Works
BBA organises monthly investment committees, where members evaluate potential deals and discuss co-investment opportunities. There’s also a more social side: the network hosts quarterly private lunches, giving angels and founders a chance to connect in a relaxed setting.
If you’re interested in joining BBA, the network actively welcomes new members from across all the Balearic Islands.
