Team
What does the team look like in relation to composition, diversity, competencies and past experience? For investors, the people behind the team are always the most important thing!

Traction
What have you achieved in terms of revenue, soft funding or pilot customers? Can you validate that others (than yourself) are interested in the product?
-
Scalability
How scalable is the product? Can it be easily sold to a larger number of customers, or does it require manual sales processes and handling?
-
Market
What are the solutions on the market in advance, and how do you differentiate yourself from the competition? Is it a red or blue ocean market?

Terms
Do your expectations for investment size and valuation fit DanBAN? And have you thoroughly considered what the investment should be used for?

Do you have any questions?
What stage do I need to be in to apply for funding?
DanBAN investors typically invest at an early stage in scalable startups with a good team and great potential. Our 300+ investors have different investment preferences; we recommend that startups have at least one working MVP before it makes sense to apply.
Investors typically make investments after the founders, friends and family have financed the start-up themselves, and before or at the same time as the first venture capital round.
Do you sign NDAs?
DanBAN does not sign NDAs; it is important that you do not share deeply confidential information when uploading your material through our platform StartupIncluder. For example, technical details of your technology that are considered to be patentable should not be shared.
If your startup is selected to pitch to one of our pitch events, you will be prompted to send an updated pitch deck directly to one of our investor relations managers via email. This material will only be displayed on a screen for the pitch event itself, and thus, not shared electronically with the participants without your prior consent.

How are investments made in DanBAN?
DanBAN organises pitch events and mediates contact between startups and the investors who are interested in a further dialogue with the respective startup. In addition, the secretariat of DanBAN is happy to help find premises for the meeting between startups and investors. Once the contact has been made, DanBAN only contributes if the start-up or investors deem it necessary.
We do not recommend specific types of investments, and we do not run a fund for DanBAN investors. Members of DanBAN make their own investment decisions and invest their own individual capital directly in startups. It is also up to the companies and investors themselves to structure any advisory cooperation or board relationship that they may find appropriate.

Does DanBAN focus on a specific sector?
No. DanBAN has no specific focus areas. All startups with innovative scalable ideas and great growth potential can apply.

How is due diligence done?
The members of DanBAN carry out the entire due diligence process on a voluntary basis—occasionally with legal advice. A lead angel, who handles due diligence and a possible board position in the company, is usually selected. He / she reports back to the group (in case of syndication), i.e. there is only one investor or perhaps two who are in continuous dialogue with the company.
