Ark Angels

Ark Angels Activator Fund NV operates as a venture capital and private equity fund, specializing in co-investing alongside individual business angels. It provides capital to early-stage, high-growth small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within Flanders, Belgium. The fund's strategy leverages a network of angel investors to identify and nurture promising ventures in the regional economy.

Established in 2012, the fund originated as a collaborative private equity initiative by ING and BAN Vlaanderen, Belgium's largest network of business angels. This partnership combined institutional backing with the agility and expertise of angels to support nascent companies effectively.

Ark Angels Activator Fund NV focused on empowering early-stage SMEs in Flanders. While the fund concluded its investment period in February 2017 and makes no new investments, its legacy includes fostering a startup ecosystem through its past portfolio. It aimed to drive regional economic development by investing in high-potential enterprises.
