Our second matching event of the year at Gut Pronstorf took place in a unique atmosphere. This time, we had the honour of presenting six innovative founders who had come to us from all over Germany.
Specialised vessels for technical personnel to be able to transfer to offshore facilities in rough seas - that was Wallaby Boats' plan. Rappelling from a helicopter is expensive and difficult, and a transfer by ship fails if the swell is too high. However, the "Wallaby 18" model can safely overcome waves up to 3 metres high thanks to a special suspension system.
6 start-ups, 8 minutes of pitches. The goal: six-figure euro investments. On 13 February 2024, the Förde Sparkasse hosted the first matching event of the Baltic Business Angels Schleswig-Holstein in 2024.
At the first Impulse Evening 2024 on the topic of "DanBAN as a benchmark for German angels networks", we were hosting DanBan CEO Thomas Marschall and DanBan founder and chairman Jesper Jarlbæk, who gave a keynote speech on the conditions for success and successful angels network management. Before that, we met for the Annual General Meeting and talked about 2023 and the plans for 2024 and also reelected Julian von Hassell to be chairman of the board and Screening Officer Claas Nieraad for another two years.
In the current IHK magazine "wirtschaft", our board members introduce Baltic Business Angels Schleswig-Holstein and show how we support young entrepreneurs and what advantages the network offers private investors.
Corporate venture capitalists are strategic investment partners and often determine the direction of travel. This is why they are not so popular with many business angels. However, they also bring expertise to the table and often tend to take on smaller tickets for start-ups. BAs and CVCs can therefore usually complement each other well, reposition themselves and thus help the start-up to progress particularly well, especially at the beginning. How do corporates act in conjunction with business angels? We spoke to various representatives and experts from the CVC sector about this.
This year's masterclass focused on "Angel investments in turbulent times". To this end, long-established business angel icons shared their experiences with us, we got to know a new platform for deal flow management and fund investment tools, learned about the European Digital Innovation Hub and how to successfully identify exceptional founders.
The Baltic Business Angels Schleswig-Holstein will start with the Matching Events 2024 on February 13th. Start-ups can already apply now - our deal flow does not take a winter break.
Our member survey reflects a difficult investment climate for business angels and start-ups across Germany. At the Business Angel Community Summit in Wiesbaden on September 13 and 14, the measures taken by the federal government were welcomed. However, the majority of the most active business angels in particular do not consider them to be sufficient.
