Angels Way, the first community-managed fund regulated by CMVM, closed four new investments in Portuguese technology startups. The chosen ones were Lampsy, Intuitivo, Smashpro, and UpSpeech, joining the 11 companies previously supported. The fund, composed of 436 small investors, thus reaches 75% of its initial goal to select 20 national startups with strong growth potential. The combined portfolio of invested companies is now valued at 79.5 million euros.
The Angels Way community evaluates startups remotely, using proprietary technology built on blockchain infrastructure. In a year and a half of activity, 124 startups were analyzed and 281 collective analysis meetings were held. The investments are fixed, worth 50 thousand euros each, from a total of one million euros available. The profile of supported companies remains consistent: startups based on original artificial intelligence solutions, designed from the outset for internationalization.
Lampsy developed a lamp with AI and computer vision that detects and records, in real time, movements associated with epilepsy seizures, with 99% accuracy. Intuitivo is a digital assessment platform for teachers, which includes AI-assisted exercise creation, automatic grading, and personalized feedback to students. Smashpro created a management platform for padel, tennis, and pickleball clubs, a rapidly growing market. UpSpeech developed a multimodal AI infrastructure to address the low adherence of patients to speech therapy between sessions.
