Nordic Angels

Nordic Angels is an initiative looking to unite the angels in the Nordic startup ecosystem to increase both bandwidth and leverage. The definition of an angel is any business angel who is contributing to the startup ecosystem as either an investor, board member, advisor, and/or in any other way invests time, capital, or effort to help the startup scene thrive. The Nordic Angels platform includes events, data collection, data sharing, networking tools, and other digital products to help generate powerful connections, insights, and efficiency within the community. Nordic Angels was created by Ash Pournouri and Andreas Grape in the year of the pandemic, in August of 2020, as the need for community and collaboration became more apparent than ever. As the world took a giant leap into digitalisation, there was a clear need to do the same for the startup community with no competent solution in sight. The vision stems from a necessity to build a stronger presence and position for capital, competence, and community in local startup ecosystems, rather than seeing the Nordic region being disfavoured for larger financial markets.
