"This was one of the most valuable investor events I have attended as a founder. This is the second time I’ve done this event, it’s so valuable that I flew across the country to participate both times.”
Mike McCormick, CEO, CorRen Medical
"CTAN is one of our earliest believers and investors. The investment process was transparent, smooth, and timely. Their investors and investment team are all incredibly experienced, sharp, kind, and overall great to partner with. So much so that one of our CTAN investors became a friend and trusted advisor. I highly recommend them to other founders!"
Jake Deleon, Founder, Fila Manila
Working with CTAN has been an exceptional experience for us as one of their portfolio companies. They were incredibly efficient in the investment process, making what can often be a complex and lengthy journey smooth and straightforward. The investors are not only insightful and supportive but also genuinely committed to the success of KEY.co.
Kim Lalande, Founder, KEY
Now that we have filled the final $4.2M seed round, I can look back at our experiences with different investor groups and take stock. CTAN stands out as one of the best angel groups that I have worked with. Its members are active and knowledgeable investors in early-stage ventures with experience in a broad spectrum of industry sectors. The organization of CTAN’s meetings and dialog with us was solid, and communications were timely. My compliments.
Richard Russo, President & CEO, Endomedix
As a CEO / Entrepreneur, we have found the CTAN people and process to be one of the most thorough and efficient of its kind. Very supportive, very fair, a desire to make a difference.
