SUMMARY:DEADLINE: Australian Angel Awards
DESCRIPTION:Techboard is pleased to be back with the Australian Angel Awards for another year\, this time with a new partner\, Angel Loop. \nThe purpose of these awards is to celebrate the contribution Angel investors make to the startup ecosystem and overall economy and community  in Australia. Angel investors not only provide their own money as capital to startups and early stage businesses\, they are also generally active in their support of their investee companies\, providing guidance\, mentoring\, introductions and more. \nEntries for the Awards have been extended until Midnight on 7 November 2023. \nThe categories for 2023 have been modified in recognition of shifts in the Investment Landscape in Australia. With greater emphasis being placed on the more philanthropic role Angel investment can play in the Australian and global community we have introduced an award for the Biggest Impact Angel Investment.  Consistent with the work that many groups have been doing to help ensure that founders from diverse backgrounds are able to obtain investment into their startups we have introduced an award to celebrate a Champion of Investment Diversity. \nThese add to the five existing categories\, although we have made some changes there as well. We are now only counting new angel investments rather than including follow-on investments as we have done in previous years. \nMost active Angel group assessed by the highest number of confirmed new Angel investments made during FY23. \nMost active regional Angel group for angel groups based outside of a capital city\, assessed by the highest number of confirmed new Angel investments. \nMost active Angel investor assessed by the highest number of confirmed new Angel investments. \nAngel Investor of the year to be awarded to Angel investor who has made a significant contribution to the Australian Angel investment community as assessed by the judging panel – taking into account not just the investor’s investment activity\, but also their impact on the angel investor community through education\, support\, promotion or other activities. \nBest Angel Exit of the year assessed to be the most financially successful exit of an Angel investment. \nIndividual Angel investors and Angel investment groups from across the country participate in the awards which are based on a data-driven assessment as well as an expert judging panel. \nEntries into the awards also supplement Techboard’s capture of startup funding data available to our subscribers and are covered in our reports on startup and young tech company funding. \nThis year the winners of the awards will be presented at an event to be held in conjunction with the Perth Angels during the West Tech Fest in December 2023.
