About this Event
PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY - IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
CTAN Office Hours is direct, one-on-one conversations between our experienced angel investors and entrepreneurs. The format is “speed dating”.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure you input an updated email address when RSVPing to this event. For efficiency, we will be grouping founders into two groups (Group 1 and Group 2). Each group will attend Office Hours at a different time. If you are assigned Group 1, you will attend from 10:45-11:45 am CT. If you are assigned Group 2, you will attend from 11:45 am-12:45 pm CT.
Please note: You are signed up for a one hour period. If you come early and you join the group before you then you have to complete your session within that period. You cannot stick around for both. If you are late, you will not be given more time and you will not be able to attend the second group. You can switch sessions no later than 24 hours in advance by emailing our team at [email protected].
Office Hours includes all of the following:
- Private, one-on-one, ~10 minute conversations with an angels
- A flexible format to help entrepreneurs of all experience levels, and to assist ventures at any level of maturity
An opportunity for the entrepreneur to:
- Better understand CTAN and our investment process
- Talk to an angel investor
- Get feedback on the venture; on the elevator speech, the cap table, or anything else
- Discuss any specific aspects of the venture the entrepreneur chooses
AGENDA:
10:45-11AM - Group 1 arrives for Intro to CTAN and pre-"speed dating" instructions
11AM-11:45AM - The first group of founders will be paired with our mentors. You will sit down with them for 10 minutes and go over your business. This can include a challenge you're having, pitch practice, financials, generals feedback etc. Whatever is most relevant to your business
11:45 AM - Group 1 leaves
11:45AM-12:00PM - Group 2 arrives for Intro to CTAN and pre-"speed dating" instructions
12-12:45PM - The second group of founders will be paired with our mentors. You will sit down with them for 10 minutes and go over your business. This can include a challenge you're having, pitch practice, financials, generals feedback etc. Whatever is most relevant to your business
ATTENDEE NOTES:
1 . 10 minute time slots will be strict. You must leave the table with your angel at that 10 minute mark.
2 . You can review who our angels are in advance to try to sit with the one who you feel has the most knowledge in your industry, but we will not be pairing you based on your industry. You can sit down with the angels on a first-come, first-served basis. This means that when you're in your group, you will sit down with whomever you select. You will only be able to sit with one angel, one time. You cannot go back to the same angel each turn.
3 . Groups will be based on how many angels are present (i.e. if there are 10 angels, we will have groups of 10 founders). Whoever is not in that group, will wait 10 minutes for their turn to talk to the angels.
4 . If you are a startup team, you will need to sit with the angels together. You cannot have 2 co-founders talking about the same business separately.
Upon arrival at Capital Factory, founders will enter through the AstroBoy doors, around the corner from Voltron and the security desk on the first floor. You will see a CTAN banner outside of where the check in will be.
