1. Background EUROPEAN BUSINESS ANGEL NETWORK - Directory of Network 2005 SWITZERLAND 2005 Switzerland has a long tradition of business angel investment, however business angels did not organise themselves until the late 90’s. The first BAN in Switzerland was named Business Angel Club and created in 1997 by Ueli Stüssi. In the late 90’s and in the beginning of the new century, a number of additional BANs have been created, private BANs as well as commercial ones. In 2004, Band of Angels (Schweiz) and Business Angel Club merged into Business Angels Schweiz. The national association was set up in 2003 under the name Association of Swiss Business Angel Networks (ASBAN). ASBAN has today 7 active and 2 passive members. 2.
