Background
Until October 2003, VentureLab, created in February 2001, was acting as the national network of Norway. Late 2003, VentureLab, www.myventurelab.com ,together with the Seed Forum Norway and Seed Forum Alumni, have organised a new entity called NorBAN.
NorBAN is now the national Norwegian network organisation for business angels. The purpose of NorBAN us to be an interest organisation for private investors, to organise and to take the initiative to establish local and regional business angel networks as local organisations in NorBAN, to develop and carry out systems for matchmaking between entrepreneurs and private investors and to work for the reduction of risk among private investors.
NorBAN organises “Road shows” to start up regional BAN structures in at least 7-10 regions. The shows are organised in cooperation with Seed Forum Norway - the Norwegian national tool to finance Norwegian early stage companies with (foreign) private equity www.seedforumnorway.com - and possibly in cooperation with Innovation Norway (national coordinator) and SIVA as the national coordinator for the local innovation centres.
