This newsletter was sent to NorBAN’s subscribers on 27 December 2025. Dates, offers and links are as they were at the time.
We hope you have found some Christmas calm after a busy autumn and Advent, and that the period brought good opportunities and investments.
It has certainly been busy for us at NorBAN, with a number of new activities. The new Startup Spotlight meeting series has been popular, and we hope you joined us at this year’s Oslo Innovation Week for the talks at the North-Atlantic Angel Investor Summit.
With the days between Christmas and New Year here, it is time to look ahead. In this newsletter we share ideas for activities in the new year, and of course our monthly Angel Mixers and Startup Spotlights for members continue.
Everything is in our updated event calendar
With best wishes for the rest of the holidays and a happy New Year,
NorBAN board, Svein-Magnus Sørensen, chairman
NorBAN is a partner of the startup conference TechArena and invites members and others in the Norwegian community to join us in Stockholm, for both the conference and the investor day on 10 February.
Early buyers could get up to 35% off the entry ticket, and active LP investors could apply for a free ticket.
NorBAN members can now use several new discounts:
The membership easily pays for itself through the member benefits alone.
As announced at OIW, NorBAN and FarBAN are planning an exclusive joint four-day study trip to the Faroe Islands on 6–10 May 2026.
Alongside company visits and meetings with the local angel community, the main purpose of the trip is VIP participation at the TONIK conference, with good opportunities for international networking with participants from across Europe and the US.
One of NorBAN’s first supporters after the 2023 relaunch was N2F – Nordic Secondary Fund, the only Nordic fund that invests exclusively in secondaries, giving liquidity to founders and early-stage investors in growth companies after Series A.
Contact N2F if you are a shareholder in a company that has completed its Series A and want to look at releasing some capital.
Do you know a young, less experienced entrepreneur who could develop their idea further through a paid exchange at a startup abroad with Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs? Or are you a seasoned founder who could host and mentor a visiting entrepreneur whose work complements or supports your business?
We build relationships between investors for collaboration and co-investment, keep members up to date on relevant topics, and connect them with investor communities in Scandinavia and Europe.
You can expect to receive quarterly newsletters as well as other announcements periodically, usually never more than once per month.
