SweBAN's Mission
Robust support to angel networks to build strong investment networks that can build the next generation of Swedish startups. We are a knowledge engine to help accelerate creation and development of BANs across Sweden. Join us as we build the angel investing infrastructure in Sweden: together.
Start
Guidance to help new Business Angel Networks (BANs) and angel investor groups get off the ground. From forming a solid foundation to setting up operational frameworks, we offer the essential tools and strategies for success. SweBAN aims to support the early stages, empowering new networks to take root and thrive in Sweden’s dynamic startup ecosystem.
Grow
We aim to provide growth guidance to expand membership, attract more funding, strengthen deal flow, and improve operational efficiency for established BANs and angel groups. Whether you’re looking to scale or fine-tune your current approach, our role will be to equip networks with the resources and expertise to accelerate growth and make a larger impact.
Amplify
Angel networks struggle with building dedicated communication resources. We plan to fill that gap by leveraging SweBAN’s brand strength to boost visibility. We aim to provide communication playbooks, sharpen messaging, and increase the reach of BANs, enabling them to attract more attention from potential investors, entrepreneurs, and partners.
Meet
SweBAN serves as the national meeting point for BANs and their clusters. Our mission is to facilitate regular forums, dialogues, and events that bring together angel investors, thought leaders, and ecosystem stakeholders. Whether online or in-person, these gatherings foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities that drive the collective advancement of the community.
Collaborate
SweBAN is here to develop tools and infrastructure for BANs to collaborate more effectively. One of our areas of focus is to promote co-investment, deal sharing, and facilitate cross-network opportunities, enabling angel groups across Sweden to work together seamlessly. By fostering a culture of cooperation, we can together create a stronger, more resilient angel investing ecosystem to support startups.
Diversify
We need to together think of new ways to fill in the gaps in angel investing infrastructure. We plan to work closely with our members community to explore new concepts and investment vehicles. Whether it’s launching a deep tech-focused BAN or a specialized network for music tech, SweBAN aims to bring tools and frameworks to diversify and grow the ecosystem in creative, impactful ways.
Go International
By blending the community's collective experience with international best practices, we plan to help BANs expand beyond Sweden by attracting international members and expertise, fostering global connections, identifying cross-border investment opportunities, attracting international partners, and investing in global ventures.
Measure
With your support and active engagement, SweBAN will collect and synthesize data from across the Swedish angel investment ecosystem, transforming it into actionable insights for BANs. These insights can then be used by BANs for growth, advocacy, and improved decision-making. This will also support BANs in presenting data-driven arguments to local policymakers in the regional economy.
Advocate
Together as one voice we actively champion the interests of angel investors and BANs across Sweden, advocating for better policies, increased diversity, and a more supportive regulatory environment. SweBAN works to shape public policy, promote inclusivity, and advance the role of angel investing as a key driver of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Our Impact
SweBAN is committed to driving societal impact by aligning with four key UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): promoting gender equality (SDG 5), fostering decent work and economic growth through early-stage investments (SDG 8), advancing industry, innovation, and infrastructure (SDG 9), and strengthening partnerships to achieve sustainable development goals (SDG 17). Through these efforts, SweBAN aims to create a more inclusive, innovative, and resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem in Sweden.
