The "Golden Nose" goes to the business angel with the best instinct and a truly good nose. The Business Angels Network Germany eV (BAND) is honoring the 2017the “Business Angel of the Year” for the 17th time.
How does a business angel make a fortune?
To even be considered for the award, a business angel must support "his" startup not only with an investment but also with their own network and extensive expertise. And, of course, initial exit successes don't hurt.
Startups, suggest your business angel!
Startups in which the angel investor has invested may submit proposals for the "Business Angel 2017" award. The proposal should clearly state what the young entrepreneurs particularly value about working with "their" business angel. Another possible quality feature: if the same investor is nominated by multiple startups at the same time. At the very least, this would indicate that the startups feel well looked after by their angel investor.
How does the application process for the “Golden Nose” work?
Only angels with investments that after made before December 31, 2012. The following information must be provided for the application:
- Short profile of the proposing company including contact details
- Contact details of the angel investor (the investor must be resident in Germany)
- What makes the business angel special?
Telling success stories
The "Golden Nose" award is presented by a select jury consisting of members of the "BAND Heaven of Fame" and stakeholders in the ecosystem. The winner will be honored at the "Business Angel Community Summit 2017" on August 23-24. The goal of the award? To share the success stories of experienced angels! Ultimately, this motivates other entrepreneurs to invest capital and expertise in innovative startups.
Written proposals can be submitted by 31 May 2017 via e-mail to Dr. Ute Günther from BAND.
