Four companies, four female founders – this is the Nordic Angel Program by FiBAN
November 15, 2018
Nordic Angel Program by FiBAN has been more diverse than ever. Both the syndicate and the startups applying consists of people from different backgrounds, countries, ethnicity, and genders. Most striking aspect is that all of the companies, which were in the top4, have female co-founders and CEOs.
From over a hundred companies, the investors of Nordic Angel Program managed to go down to just four companies, which performed the best throughout the process. While the syndicate is making a decision on which one to invest in, let’s take a moment to think about the diversity of the whole program.
Syndicate consists of:
- Male and female co-leads
- Four different nationalities, 19 angels strong
Top15 companies consists of:
- companies from four different countries
- seven female CEOs
And finally, the top4 companies had:
- companies from three countries
- founders from four countries, also outside of Europe
- four female co-founders, who also work as the CEOs
This shows that both FiBAN, and it’s deal flow, is getting more and more diverse and international. This will benefit the Finnish ecosystem greatly, and enables FiBAN to be in the center of all international transactions, both in human resources and investments.
Salute to all who made it to the program!
