According to the EstBAN business angels, the program offers safe way to expand his angel activity in the Nordic & Baltic region. Nordic Angel Program offers a speedway to the network, an acceleration to gain knowledge and direct access to the best deals.
The Nordic Angel Program is looking for existing and new business angels. The three-month program offers a practical training covering legal and startup evaluation related questions as well as other technical aspects regarding the field.
The main goal of the program is to increase cross-border investment activity and size in the Nordic & Baltic area. “Angel investing is typically very local, and a median angel group investment is approximately 200.000€. We need to increase the size of the investment to the level of more dynamic regions like London or Silicon Valley. Without larger investments, it is difficult for Nordic startups to make a global breakthrough,” said NordicBAN Managing Director Claes Mikko Nilsen.
