Leapfunder gives you the opportunity to invest in the coolest startups from the Benelux and DACH region. If you’re familiar with us, you know that you can invest in the Open Rounds and that the startups in the Coming Soon section are investor-ready. However, during the past year, when people started working remotely, a lot of startups saw this as an opportunity to find investors across borders, especially in Western Europe. We decided to help them by opening up our platform to very early-stage startups!

With our On the Market feature, which works as a one-stop shop for startups, we wanted to give very early-stage companies that might be a diamond in the rough an opportunity to get visibility. We aim to introduce them to the largest angel investor network in Europe and help them raise funding because we believe there is enough capital out there for every good idea. 

What we wanted to offer you, as an investor, is the opportunity to browse through these startups on our platform, follow them if you like them, and become one of the first people to jump on the investor train once these startups are investor-ready.

We’re showcasing 70 startups at the moment. Even though most of them are in the Benelux and DACH region, there are some companies from other parts of Europe as well.
Most of the showcased startups are in enterprise software, health, leisure and food/agricultural industries. However, if you’re interested in discovering companies in logistics, mobility, fintech or other industries we have something for you too.
