Lead Angels by Intelectium

Lead Angels by Intelectium is a private investment club that provides members with curated investment opportunities in high-potential technology startups. The firm primarily targets B2B-focused startups that have a constituted company, a post-MVP (Minimum Viable Product) with initial metrics, and valuations generally below €3.0 million. The club was founded by Patricio Hunt, who is also the founder and Managing Partner of Intelectium, a financial consultancy for innovative startups.

Patricio Hunt, an experienced venture capitalist and consultant, established Intelectium in 2004 to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. He holds a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Buenos Aires and an MBA from Babson College. His career includes roles at major corporations like Accenture and Exxonmobil before he transitioned to supporting the startup ecosystem. The creation of Lead Angels stemmed from a desire to be more involved with portfolio companies beyond just fundraising. It operates alongside other investment vehicles under the Intelectium umbrella, such as Intelectium Ventures and Smartech Capital.

The business model centers on a rigorous selection process where Intelectium curates the deal flow, analyzing teams, products, and metrics before presenting opportunities to the club's investors. Lead Angels facilitates the entire investment process, from the initial presentation to creating a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each investment and managing the vehicle until a potential exit. The minimum investment ticket per investor is €5,000. Post-investment, Intelectium often takes a role on the startup's Board of Directors or Advisory Board to represent investors' interests and provide ongoing support.
