For founders
How the funding process works
Six steps from first contact to a closed round. Timelines vary with how prepared you are; complete materials move faster.
- Application. You submit your startup with a pitch deck and basic company information.
- Criteria check. We verify the fit against the investment criteria: team, market, stage, ticket size.
- Analysis. Startups that pass get a closer look: product, traction, market and the story behind the numbers.
- Distribution to the network. Selected startups are shared with TechAngels members; the strongest are invited to pitch.
- Matching. Members who want to go deeper meet the founders, ask their questions and run due diligence.
- Syndication and closing. Interested angels form the round: term sheet, legal documents, signatures, money in the bank.
