> Members are extremely busy with daily business
> We are competing with family, girlfriends and golf > Lack of experience in StartUp investments and
syndication
> Need to market Angels as an important part of the ecosystem - paradigm shift
> To attract more Angels we need to establish attractive co-investment schemes with Est/EU institutions

So, what’s being discussed on
European level?
![Page 12: Est ban estvca-20130522](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051400/55941eb11a28ab75768b46b9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The private sector plays a key role in creating new jobs and therefore, there is a need for a strong public-private partnership between member states, entrepreneurs and the investors that back them.
It is possible to create a virtuous cycle where private investors put their money in new companies creating jobs and also paying taxes.
In return, member states can reward and incentivize those investors through asymmetric exits, co-investment funds or tax breaks.
