Direct answer — AngelHub appears to refer to at least two distinct organizations with similar names: (1) AngelHub (angelhub.io), a Hong Kong–based regulated equity crowdfunding platform that has announced it is ceasing investment operations; and (2) AngelHub (angelhub.mx), a Mexico-based angel-investor club that provides smart capital to Mexican/Latino founders[1][5]. Each has a different mission, origin and status; below I provide short, structured profiles you can use for an investor‑style one‑page (I separate the two organizations so you can pick the one you meant).
AngelHub (Hong Kong / angelhub.io)
High‑level overview
- Concise summary: AngelHub is a regulated equity‑crowdfunding platform that aimed to democratize private-market investing by enabling retail participation in vetted startup rounds; it invested in multiple tech startups but has announced it will cease investment operations and relinquish its SFC license[1].[1]- For an investment firm: Mission — democratize access to private markets and enable retail investors to co‑invest in early‑stage tech companies[1].[1] Investment philosophy — crowdfund vetted startups under a regulated platform to widen investor access and pool capital into rounds; deployed about USD 17–18M across campaigns[1].[1] Key sectors — tech startups (general); platform cites 23 companies / 28 campaigns across fintech, SaaS and other tech categories[1].[1] Impact — enabled retail and smaller accredited investors to back early companies, contributed exits and liquidity for some investors, and added to regulated crowdfunding precedent in the market[1].[1]
Origin story
- Founding year / evolution: Built as a regulated crowdfunding platform (details on exact founding year not shown on the announcement page), grew to run ~28 campaigns and deploy ~USD 17–18M into ~23 companies before deciding to cease investment activity due to the macro/economic environment; SFC license relinquished per the site announcement[1].[1]- Key moments: Achieved two successful exits and returned capital to investors (the site cites USD 9.1M returned and several mark‑ups), then publicly announced the decision to stop new investment operations while continuing to service existing investments[1].[1]
Core differentiators
- Regulated crowdfunding model (SFC licensed while active), enabling retail participation in private rounds[1].[1]- Demonstrated deal flow and execution: ran 28 campaigns, deployed ~USD 17–18M and achieved two exits[1].[1]- Investor reporting / stewardship: committed to ongoing monitoring and updates for existing investors after ceasing new operations[1].[1]
Role in the broader tech landscape
- Trend: democratization of private markets and regulated equity crowdfunding in Asia/Hong Kong[1].[1]- Timing / market forces: rising regulatory focus on investor protection and uncertain macro conditions contributed to platform’s decision to stop new investments, illustrating the fragility of early regulated crowdfunding business models in stressed markets[1].[1]
Quick take & future outlook
- Short term: platform ceased new investment activity but will continue servicing existing portfolio and communications to investors[1].[1]- Long term: outcome depends on market recovery or team pivot; the announcement frames this as the end of this operational chapter but promises ongoing stewardship for current investors and portfolio companies[1].[1]
AngelHub (Mexico / angelhub.mx)
High‑level overview
- Concise summary: AngelHub (Mexico) is an angel investor club and platform focused on providing “smart capital” to Mexican and Latino entrepreneurs, and on professionalizing angel investing across local cities in Mexico[5].[5]- For an investment firm: Mission — provide smart capital to Mexican/Latino founders and develop businessmen into professional angel investors[5].[5] Investment philosophy — invest in highly innovative, high‑growth startups with scalable business models and strong founding teams; typical ticket sizes cited USD 50k–250k[5].[5] Key sectors — broad tech and high‑growth sectors (portfolio emphasis on innovation, replicable business models and mass markets) rather than a single vertical[5].[5] Impact — provides deal access, network support, AWS Activate credits and local ecosystem building (runs local chapters and helps organizations launch investment clubs)[5].[5]
Origin story
- Founders / background: The site states AngelHub operates as a club with local chapters across Mexican cities and partnerships with ecosystem players; specific founder names are not shown on the English landing page (Spanish pages may list local leads)[5].[5]- How the idea emerged: Positioning centers on filling a gap for smart, early capital for Mexican/Latino entrepreneurs and professionalizing angel activity locally[5].[5]- Early traction: Offers access to 60+ angel investors, portfolio highlights and partnership benefits (AWS credits, investor networks), and lists a regional program of investments and support[5].[5]
Core differentiators
- Local focus on Mexican/Latino entrepreneurs and an investor‑club model that combines capital with mentorship and network support[5].[5]- Structured investment tickets (USD 50k–250k) and partnerships (accelerators, funds, educational institutions, AWS credits) to accelerate portfolio startups[5].[5]- Emphasis on developing angels (education, club formation) in addition to deploying capital[5].[5]
Role in the broader tech landscape
- Trend: rising Latin American startup ecosystem and increased local angel capital to support regionally scalable startups[5].[5]- Timing: as VC interest in LATAM grows, local angel clubs that professionalize syndication and deal flow are well positioned to capture early rounds and help founders grow toward regional scale[5].[5]
Quick take & future outlook
- Short term: continue sourcing early deals, supporting portfolio companies with network and credits, and expanding local chapters[5].[5]- Long term: success depends on the strength of exits and ability to co‑invest with VCs; if AngelHub Mexico helps create repeatable exits it could become a leading feeder of follow‑on rounds in the region[5].[5]
If you meant a different “Ange Hub” (e.g., “AngeHub” vs. “AngelHub” or another similarly named firm), tell me which country or share a URL and I’ll refine the profile and verify founding dates, founders’ names, portfolio companies and latest financials.
