As the pan-European representative for the early-stage investor community, we’re proud to gather over 100 member organisations and associations in more than 50 countries. Together, we’re estimated to invest a whopping 11.4 billion Euros yearly – talk about a powerhouse network! But we’re not just about the numbers – we’re all about creating wealth and jobs for the future of Europe. Founded in 1999 by a group of pioneer angel networks in Europe with the collaboration of the European Commission and EURADA, we leverage decades of expertise and know-how to fuel Europe’s growth.
Our flagship events and webinars offer unequalled access to investors, startup coaches, and support agencies that can help entrepreneurs scale their businesses. We work closely with EU and national governments to enable early-stage entrepreneurship and private investment ecosystems to flourish. EBAN also supports and promotes scaleups (Scaleup of the month & AWS Activate Offer for Startups). Additionally, we promote training and professionalising to early-stage investors and entrepreneurs through the Eban Institute and raise awareness – One of EBAN’s main activities is to do research on the early-stage and business angel markets. Annually, EBAN publishes Guides on Angel Investing, Industry Reports and Guides for Entrepreneurs! Find out more about EBAN here!
EBAN has also been cooperating with the Invest & Expand in Pohjois-Savo project since 2022; the goal is to increase the province’s vitality and attractiveness to obtain new national and international investments in the North Savo region. Last year, EBAN joined the annual pitching contest in Tahko Mountain – Tahko Ski lift Pitch – and we are delighted to announce that we will be there again in 2023! This is Eastern Finland’s most unique business and networking event that offers an energising experience for all business-minded people! On Wednesday 12th of April, from 9:15 am until 11:00 am, EBAN, FiBAN, FVCA, and Invest and Expand Pohjois-Savo will join the startup workshop, “Communicating with investors: when, how and why?” which will be discussed the key elements of successful communication and how to navigate the challenges of communicating with investors during the startup investment and growth lifecycle.
