Our German readers might be surprised to read an issue of BANDquartal in English, but there’s a simple reason for using the modern lingua franca. The topic of angel investment research is not a national one, it ultimately has a larger, European scope.
That is why BAE, Business Angels Europe, the association of national angel federations in Europe places emphasis on the intensification of angel investment research. BAND’s co-president Ute Günther is responsible for research and data in BAE’s Board of Directors.
In February 2016, BAND organized the BAE Conference on Angel Investment Research for the second time. It was held at Zeche Zollverein in Essen as a further step to establish a community of business angel researchers all over Europe.
You will find the results of this conference here, but the general aim of this issue at hand (or more likely, on screen) is to paint a picture of the challenges, methods and results of angel research all over Europe.
Enjoy reading!
