We are very proud that our CEO, Dimitris Tsingos, is now a Member of the Board at EBAN! Namely, The European Trade Association for Business Angels, Seed Funds, and other Early Stage Market Players.
The EBAN
EBAN (a non-profit organization) is the representative in Brussels; through direct and indirect membership, of more than 250 business angel networks in Europe. These in turn federate some 20.000 angels, and receive about 40.000 business plans a year. EBAN brings together more than 100 member organizations in 27 countries today. It reaches out to 300 groups, 20.000 angels and 40.000 entrepreneurs. It was established in 1999 by a group of pioneer angel networks in Europe; with the collaboration of the European Commission and EURADA.
A great opportunity for entrepreneurs in Greece
Dimitris’ presence at the EBAN Board appears to be a great opportunity for Greece and for domestic entrepreneurs; as it is expected to help attract angel investments to the local market. Also, with respect to the fact that EBAN is officially recognized by the European Union when in talks for important current issues like risk financing, Greek entrepreneurs and investors will now be able to communicate their ideas, concerns and views straight to decision points of Europe.
We stay active
At this point, it is useful to underline that Dimitris Tsigos is President of YES. That is, the European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs (yes.be); and also President of the Hellenic Startups Association (https://hellenicstartups.gr/).
