Our Mission

Our mission is to provide quality seed-stage investment opportunities for accredited Central Texas angel investors. A byproduct of this will be economic development for Central Texas and the state by helping emerging companies grow to profitability and/or grow to Venture Capital scale investments.

CTAN will measure its success by the quality of deal flow, amount of dollars invested, number of companies funded and, of course, ROI for members.


Role of Central Texas Angel Network
  • Investment opportunities are not offered by or endorsed by CTAN.
  • Members are responsible for making individual and independent investment decisions, both as to suitability of an investment and as to the amount, if any, invested based on their own individual evaluation of the merits of the proposed investment.
  • The network acts solely as a facilitator of the investment process, providing members with a method by which members may meet, view, analyze and monitor investment opportunities.
  • The network does not provide members or others with investment advice and does not benefit from the success or failure of the investments of its members.
  • Members must actively participate in the process to share in the benefits of the programs and to make their participation beneficial to other members. Members are expected to attend most meetings.
