Venture In The South
Venture in the South is about the Startup Ecosystem in the Southern US. We interview founders and thought leaders, sponsor a few panels discussing significant events and share our own experiences with over 100 startup investments. Released every Monday and usually 30-45 minutes long, ~50% of shows are Founder interviews, ~25% interviews with thought leaders and ~25% educational. We invite feedback and suggestions via ventureinthesouth.com or email david@ventureinthesouth.com. If you like our show please subscribe and give us a rating with a 2 sentence review. Thanks for listening and remember: Our mission is to MAKE MONEY, HAVE FUN AND DO GOOD.
Venture In The South
E118: The Central Texas Angel Network in Austin
E118: The Central Texas Angel Network in Austin has been a focus for Angels there since 2006.
Gary Forni is the new Chair of CTAN and brings his own perspective and some innovation to the group. We discuss CTAN's deal flow, their approach to diligence, their industry agnostic approach and their impressive investment results.
Both Angels and Entrepreneurs will be interested in CTAN's unique approach to incentivizing deal flow by offering a 'Start-Up Success Package' of benefits just for making it through screening, regardless of whether they receive funding. They have an influential and experienced membership that brings real startup investing talent to the table for the benefit of both Founders and Angels. (recorded 5/2/24)
