In this interview, we meet Angele Giuliano, business angel, mentor and the founder of AcrossLimits, a Malta-based company with 19 years on the market, that guides businesses and organizations through different opportunities related to EU funding. She tells how the lockdown has driven many more entities to seek their advice, especially related to new health funding. Angele shares that the big change was in the lack of travelling and physical presence when the initial introduction with clients happens. The whole team of 25 employees was working remotely. Angele notices that people were more productive, they could save time on travel and after the lockdown, she plans to keep the remote working with only two days in the office. 

Angele also shares what it means to be a business angel. She talks about a group of female business angels Rising Tide, and how the lockdown affected their behaviour in terms of investing.
