Angel Prize is an invitation-only gathering of the best and most engaged angels within the Nordic startup and scaleup ecosystem - not only from the cities, but from all major regions - together representing the Nordic countries’ major corporations and businesses. The limited-capacity event also include representatives of the Nordic country’s largest family offices, best VCs and top angel investors.
The event is attended by the most significant figures in the Nordic startup ecosystem, including representatives from the 10 largest cities. These individuals are selected for their recognition and defining influence, comprising founders and leaders of the largest corporations in the Nordics who have chosen to reinvest their efforts and resources in the local community.
The Angel Prize aims to establish a groundbreaking standard for acknowledging the significant contributions of angels within the private sector markets, exerting substantial influence in both political spheres and the media landscape.
Awards will be bestowed upon individuals who have made substantial contributions in various categories over the past year. Nominees will be submitted by an impartial committee, basing their decisions on a combination of statistics, testimonials, and actual accomplishments.
The selection of award recipients will be a community-driven process, where the startup ecosystem will cast their votes to determine the most significant contributors of the past year. These votes will be collected and accounted for before the event.
The awards ceremony will serve to celebrate and honor those who have had a remarkable impact on their respective fields. It is a moment to acknowledge their outstanding dedication and achievements while inspiring others within the startup ecosystem to strive for engagement and excellence.
