About

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 digitalization, 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.

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 efforts to help the startup scene thrive. Nordic Angels is a pioneering platform bringing together the key contributors of the Nordic startup ecosystem. Our mission is to amplify the impact of our collective efforts, fostering growth and innovation across the region. An Angel is not merely an investor, but a dynamic participant in the startup landscape, offering their financial resources, expertise, or time. They may serve as investors, boardmembers, advisors, or in other supportive roles to nurture the flourishing Nordic startup scene. At Nordic Angels, we unite these benevolent forces, channeling their potential to create a vibrant and prosperous future for Nordic entrepreneurship.
