Last update 23.9.2018.
Denmark’s angel ecosystem has really taken off the last years. The national network DanBAN has over 170 investor members, around the country. The membership requirement is 500.000€ liquid investment capacity. In addition to the national activity, there are local groups like Odense Seed and Venture, Business angel Syddanmark, The Nordic Web Angel Fund, byFounders and Capital2Grow. Capital2Grow, for example, focuses on exclusive pitch sessions with facilitated investment rounds. We expect the Danish angel ecosystem to really take off in the near future!
