aws i2 Business Angels is NOT the same as aws Gründungsfonds, which is the federal equity seed fund that invests its own capital, nor AAIA (Austrian Angel Investors Association), which is a private membership association rather than a state-run matching platform. aws i2 Business Angels refers specifically to the angel-founder matching service operated by Austria Wirtschaftsservice. It is also distinct from Hans(wo)men Group, which is a curated Vienna syndicate that pools its own collective tickets, and from the broader aws agency, which offers many other grant and loan programmes beyond i2.
