As early as 2017, the WTSH had initiated a network in which private investors in the state can exchange ideas and gain access to promising startups. Baltic Business Angels Schleswig-Holstein e.V. was then founded in June 2018 and the network has been growing steadily ever since. We celebrated our fifth birthday with great guests and a colorful audience at InnoPier in Kiel.

Does a fund make sense for us as an investment vehicle? How do other networks do it? At our year-end event, we learned about different approaches. We also dealt with the question of how big the crisis mood is for investments in startups and how to deal with problems in your own investments as a business angel.

The new Schleswig-Holstein Minister of Economics, Transport, Labor, Technology and Tourism Claus Ruhe Madsen visited our Impulse Evening in Kiel on September 29, 2022. According to the statutes, the minister is a „born board member“ of the association and in this capacity succeeds his minister predecessor Dr. Bernd Buchholz, who co-founded the network in 2018.

In the far north of Schleswig-Holstein our network met for the BBA year-end event. The newly opened Flensburg hotel „Das James“ was our venue.

Looking back on the year 2020 and planning for the next months at Baltic Business Angels Schleswig-Holstein e.V. – that was the topic of the annual general meeting. On April 21, this took place for the first time via video conference. Besides the usual agenda items for associations, the election of the Commercial Officer was on the agenda.
