Padeinvest
This case examines the creation and management of an investment group, PADEINVEST, which was launched by the 2010 PADE graduating class in Madrid to engage in group investment activities in start-ups.
The case briefly traces the creation of the group and the motivation behind it, its operating metrics, the assembly of its initial portfolio, and its first investments.
The case also uses one of its investments, the third one, to highlight the different approaches between a business angel-like investment group and more rigid, structured forms of investment. Examining the investment in Chrysalis reveals that the trust among the people in the group is crucial.
PADEINVEST is an angel investment group with more than 30 members and recognition in the sector. It received the prize for the best business angel network in Spain in 2013.
