ABOUT

BANSON – Business Angel Netzwerk e.V. is a volunteer-run, non-profit association that has matched startups with business angels for more than 23 years in the region of Braunschweig, Wolfsburg, Hannover, Lüneburg, Göttingen and Osnabrück, with its office at the TrafoHUB in Braunschweig. Its members are private business angels, entrepreneurs, companies, institutions and banks; over 400 startups have presented at its matching evenings, where four teams pitch to about 30-50 angels, and at members-only club evenings where angels co-invest. In July 2026 Invecorum, a Braunschweig AI startup for tax firms, closed a six-figure angel round with all commitments made at a BANSON pitch evening in Hannover.

INVESTMENT THESIS

Founders and established young companies seeking finance, with a focus on the region from Lüneburg to the Harz and Hannover to Magdeburg, though founders are supported nationwide.
