Arches Capital is a fast-growing group of business angels that is bridging the gap between Venture Capitalist (VCs) and how angels operate today, by joining the best of both worlds for our members. Our community strives to bring superior deal flow, professional knowledge and lower risk profile to our participating angel investors. We further distinguish ourselves in the way profits are generated and shared, and how our angels interact with their investees (the startups) and with each other. For this we are building the leading platform of actively engaged business angels that know how to operate and manage their investments in a professional and standardized manner. Operate like a VC, be an Angel We source, select and invest like a VC; We engage, care and inspire as the angel we are. We believe that by bundling smart capital (combine funding with real business knowledge and experience) with true engagement (actively working together to achieve rapid growth), we are able to ignite early stage companies on their path to success. Arches Capital invests in early stage and scaling companies. We differentiate itself from angel syndicates or funds by supporting the next growth stage as well: we aim to lead or contribute to follow-on investments of our successful portfolio companies. For general info or angel membership info please contact: info@arches.capital. For companies that seek funding: please check our website (http://arches.capital) for our preferences and prerequisites, and send your request, pitch deck and/or business plan to: fundme@arches.capital.

The FNL believes it is time for a new form of leadership: Natural Leadership. By Natural Leadership, we mean the kind of leadership required to make today’s world more sustainable, both socially and ecologically. The kind of leadership required to discover the human potential that lies concealed within our organisations and ourselves. We are a fast growing community. Over 1.600 members have already joined. The aim of those programmes and of several other initiatives is to accelerate the adoption of Natural Leadership skills by people and organisations. Our mission Our mission as a foundation is to support the development of Natural Leadership and to increase awareness of the connection between Nature and humanity. Our roots The foundation’s roots lie in the 2002 International Dialogue Conference of the Encounter of Worldviews Foundation. There was a strong recognition that, as a species, we humans can learn a great deal from Nature and that we have a clear responsibility to work with Nature in a sustainable way. Based on this understanding, the next step was to create a programme in which Nature could serve as a portal for leadership transformation. And so our foundation was born.
