A list of small companies looking for investment/buy out I think.

Again, what does your €100 get you?

What are Business Angels?
These are often successful entrepreneurs themselves, or they may have been senior managers from industry. A common thread is that they are looking for the opportunity to invest in ambitious, fast-growth businesses.

Who needs them?
Any company can benefit from their involvement but Business Angels are particularly useful for:

* Early-stage and growing businesses that do not have enough capital of their own.
* Companies whose equity requirements are too small for venture capitalists.
* Growing businesses that need to strengthen their board or management team.

Looks more like a Dragons Den style thing, not sure what you're expecting for your €100!

Given the current level of pshing[sic] scams I would be talking to a human and checking them out before I would part with my 100€:)

Those organisations that run it are top of the range - surprising that they need to get €100 off people (seeing as they are funded by the government). Maybe it is just in order to show that you are serious?
