In season 2 we interview business angels investing in European EdTech startups to understand their investment thesis, what advice they would give startups seeking funding and how founders should approach these types of investors.

In this episode: We interview Anette Bø Andreassen who is an angel investor and partner at Sagene Tech Ventures, a pre-seed venture fund based in Norway, investing in early-stage Edtech, Prop-tech and Creative tech. She is based in Oslo. She is also COO at the startup Unifractal that is combining visual search technology with user manuals & training.

We talk about: The value of creating real connection over time with investors, how far some investors can go to support startups, getting recommendations from other startups, what not to do when pitching investors and the importance of creating buzz around your products.

Outtakes:

• For me as an investor, it's really good to have recommendations from other startups.


• We want to feel engaged, we want to feel energized. 


• Find the right investors and cultivate them. And sometimes it could be also other kind of industry companies who have all these kind of venture brands.
