It is with great joy that HeBAN is celebrating today its official anniversary. During the past year HeBAN has been very active in organizing a variety of information, education and training sessions and participating in a multitude of national and international events with the goal to promote and facilitate Business Angel Investing in Greece and the wider region. We are extremely happy to have welcomed Ms Marina Hatsopoulos, the well-known Entrepreneur and Business Angel from the US, in the International Advisory Board of HeBAN.
Although surely there is still some substantial way to be covered it can be noted that early-stage private equity investment makes progress in Greece.
For the coming year, besides continuing its current activities, HeBAN is looking forward to further enlarging its member and partner base and preparing the ground for more early stage investment deals to take place in Greece.
On Tuesday 10th of May 2016, The Hellenic Business Angels Network (HeBAN) was invited by the International Faculty of the University of Sheffield – CITY College to discuss about “The Role of Business Angels in the Greek Finance Ecosystem”. The presentation of HeBAN was attended by the Master’s (MSc) Banking and Finance students and the academics of the Faculty.
The co – founder Prof. Panayiotis H. Ketikidis covered the first session, which was about “Introduction to Startups and Business Angel Investing”. The second session “Financial Considerations for Business Angels was covered by HeBAN’s intern, Ms. Ketevan Chikhladze.
At the end of the presentation there was enough time for Q & A from the academics and master’s students.
