The future of making money lies in technology. If you want to turn 100,000 Euro into 100,000,000 – you need mistakes-proven knowledge how Digital Economy operates, inside out.
Club Changer hunts all over the world rare venture capitalists, who explain trends shifting analogue business into digital. They also open up secrets of start-up investing. All told in “human” language.
These remarkable gentlemen already visited Changer - Bas Godska (Acrobator.vc Holland - foreign angel investor Nr.1 in CIS countries), Bill Morrow (UK, AngelDen leading business angel in Europe), Konstantin Vinogradov (RunaCAPITAL, most active Russian fund operating in 12 countries), Aivaras Abromavicius (founder of EastCapital, Sweden and ex-minister of Economy of Ukraine)
START INVESTING
Investing into a startup is a high risk decision with potentially high return. Venture capital funds provide high returns (20% p.a. and higher on average) but do so by investing into large number of startups. Most of their investment portfolio fails, however some of startups in their portfolio provide 10x or even 100+ returns. If you invest into 1, 2, or even 5 startups personally as an angel investor, chances are high that your portfolio will fail completely and you will loose most of your money. You need to get shares in 10+ startups to expect decent return with lower risk, however it's quite expensive if you do it on your own.
This is where syndicated investment makes a lot of sense. If you invest together with, say, 20 investors then you need 20 times less money to get the same number of startups into your portfolio. ChangerBAN does exactly that: this is a syndicate of investors run by professional fund manager.
By investing with syndicate, you also save time and money on legal procedures. Investing into startups is often a tough challenge, you need to negotiate your deal with founders, do due diligence of the company and paperwork, keep in touch with the team later on. This is where syndicate is more effective than a single investor. Due diligence is done by professional fund manager, he is taking a board seats to supervise portfolio companies after investment is made and to help them grow, raise next rounds or make an exit.
Syndicate is also a good partner for startups. Having 20 angel investors on board with expertise in different areas and diverse contact networks is much more useful than raising money from a single investor. Syndicated investment into seed stage company is smart money that help startups to grow.
ChangerBAN is looking for early stage startups with a high growth potential from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus. Typical investment is 100-200KEUR.learn more

"The main benefit for me is internationality. There are participants in Changer Club from Netherlands, the USA and other countries. The main issue in business is usually not only lack of money, but also lack of the right people around you. I see here interesting people in the Сlub with common interests, who you can contact later for some help or cooperation. The second important quality indicator when participants are interested to ask questions. I was interested."
Leo Matveev (Russia/Belarus), Chairman of the Board of Directors of SearchInform
Member of Changer Club since May 2019
"Somewhere deep inside all of us want to find a unicorn to invest. Already in my first session at Changer Club I have realized that if you want to find a unicorn, you need to learn. So, basically, the main thing for me on the Club is learning and having experienced people around who teach us how to evaluate startup teams, how to evaluate founders and ideas. The other aim is more long-term – to make our entrepreneurial climate more innovational."
Kim Leandersson (Sweden), Head of Cognizant Riga
Member of Changer Club since February 2019
"As a banker, I got used to the fact that the most important thing is not to lose your investment, and if you manage to get 3-4% above, that’s already good result. By investing in startups, I can receive 100x or even 1000x on my investment - this is inspirational! I personally make investments for only 2 years, but at the Club I meet people who have been doing this for many years and are ready to share their experience. There are members from different countries who have achieved something in Latvia, America or Russia. Discussing with them hot topics is an invaluable experience that you can gain in a few hours!"
