Connect Sverige Region Öst x Danish Business Angels - DanBAN x SweBAN - Swedish Business Angel Networks ... fashionably early and exciting conversation with Thomas Marschall at today's The State of European Angels report release by Nordic Angels and Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Challenge: how to activate the 200K business angels in the Nordics to support the next generation of startups? Together as BANs and networks, we are scratching the surface with a few thousands only - combined. Three solutions: 1. Strong investor education backbone is a must for this. Connect has launched Next Angel | Investor Accelerator. 2. Turning legacy BANs and networks to digital. Aggregating fragmentation in doing so. 3. More collaborative cross-border investments and engagement. Exciting times to be building ecosystems. #startups #funding #businessangels
