FIBAN

FiBAN (Finnish Business Angels Network) is a non-profit association of private investors focused on inspiring private investments in Finland and beyond. Their vision is to make Finland the best country for growth-company investing. They aim to achieve this by matching startups with investors, offering certified investor education, and representing the public interests of private investors. They are one of the largest and most active business angel networks in the world, with over 600 members and a significant track record of investments. FiBAN's strategy revolves around facilitating early-stage funding for startups, particularly those seeking up to 300,000 euros. They offer startups access to a network of experienced angel investors through application processes and pitching opportunities. The organization also actively promotes angel investing by producing research and insights on the Finnish angel investment landscape and providing a platform for investors to connect and co-invest. FiBAN also supports specific areas of investment, as demonstrated through their "Creative Angels" initiative. This initiative focuses on unlocking the investment potential of the creative industries and connecting investors with creative entrepreneurs. The initiative addresses the gap in funding for creative companies by fostering cross-industry collaboration and providing support for scalable growth. FiBAN joined the Advisory Board of Creative Economy of Finland to shape national growth strategy. Furthermore, FiBAN emphasizes collaboration within the investor community and strives to create long-term impact through shared learning and practical decision-making that supports a strong Finnish business ecosystem. They also provide educational and networking opportunities for their members to continuously learn and improve their investment strategies.
