Over the past 5 years, T.A.N. has created a sustainable angel network in Cluj/Transylvania/Romania, and beyond! Our members are knowledgeable business people who invest at the pre-seed or seed level in Romanian startups. Our members contribute to the growth of both startups and the local ecosystem, through advising, mentoring and business support. 

T.A.N. is a brand of Cluj Startups, a non-profit organization started in 2012, with the mission to support the local startup ecosystem.

Many members join us without having previous angel investing experience. We work to support the education of all members with articles, books, on-line courses, guest speakers and discussions to learn from each other. Investment commitments from a member can be as little as €5K/year, and each person makes their own investing decisions. You can invest directly in startups and/or can join in syndicates which we form in order to invest together.

So far, T.A.N. members contributed more than €3.5M in investment deals in 30+ startups.
