For over a decade, TechAngels has been a cornerstone of Romania’s startup ecosystem, providing early-stage tech companies with more than just capital. Founded in 2013, this investor network has built a reputation for funding, mentoring, and connecting startups with the resources they need to scale. Whether you’re a Romanian founder seeking funding or an investor looking for high-potential opportunities, TechAngels is it.
An investor network built for founders
TechAngels was created to bridge the gap between early-stage startups and experienced angel investors. The group operates with two primary goals:
- To educate and support young entrepreneurs through investments, access to acceleration programs and a sum of various other resources needed to grow their business and
- To encourage potential business angels to take their first steps in this area of expertise.
With more than 240 startups in its consolidated portfolio and over 140 active investors, TechAngels has become Romania’s leading angel investment network. In 2024 alone, its investors deployed €3.77 million into tech startups; a 25% year-over-year increase.
Romania’s startup landscape
Romania’s startup ecosystem gained momentum in 2024, with €245 million in announced funding rounds. However, these figures reflect funding intentions rather than finalized deals, highlighting both the potential and challenges in securing investment.
Among the biggest success stories:
🔹 Dexory raised €80 million to optimize logistics with AI-driven robotics.
🔹 Ezra secured €21 million to make MRI screening more accessible.
🔹 FintechOS closed a massive €60 million round, reinforcing Romania’s strength in fintech.
These three startups alone accounted for 66% of all announced funding, demonstrating how a few key players can shape the narrative of an entire ecosystem.
TechAngels backs primarily tech-driven startups with a strong interest in HealthTech, FinTech, PropTech, EdTech, and mobility solutions.
If your company fits the bill and you’re ready to take the next step, Podim 2025 might be the perfect time and place for you!
