The tyrolean business angel network (tba network) is a network of private investors founded in May 2018 on the initiative of tba GmbH and investors Harald Oberrauch, Alexander Pichler and Gert Gremes. More than 20 entrepreneurs from the Alpine region have joined to exchange on innovations and invest jointly in promising startups.

Frequently asked questions
How does TBA Network structure its investments?
TBA Network operates a deal-by-deal co-investment model rather than a traditional closed-end fund. Participants evaluate and commit to individual opportunities alongside the firm, providing flexibility and lower fee structures compared to blind-pool funds. This networked approach allows the firm to assemble capital opportunistically without fixed deployment timelines.
What is TBA Network's geographic focus?
The firm is headquartered in Bressanone, in Italy's South Tyrol region, and concentrates its activities on continental Europe. The Alpine location provides access to deal flow across Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and southern Germany. The firm has not disclosed investments outside Europe.
Does TBA Network manage a traditional venture capital fund?
No. TBA Network does not appear to operate a standard closed-end venture fund with committed capital and a fixed investment period. Its network model allows co-investors to participate on a deal-by-deal basis, which distinguishes it from the institutional fund management firms that dominate European early-stage investing.
Who leads investment decisions at TBA Network?
The firm has not publicly disclosed the names of its principals, investment committee members, or decision-making structure. Public records do not currently identify the individuals responsible for sourcing, evaluating, or approving investments at the firm.
