Q: What is the selection process for companies to present?
There are several steps to presenting to the Twin Cities Angesl. Once we receive the initial application (which consists of your online submission, executive summary, and business plan) the initial review will begin. Within four weeks of your initial submission, we will notify you if you have been selected to present at the Screening Committee. From here we will select one or two companies to present at the next available Twin Cities Angels' dinner.
Q: What materials do we need to bring to the Screening Committee meeting?
The screening meeting only lasts 15 minutes and is not a formal pitch. This is our committee’s opportunity to ask you questions that were raised during your initial review. We will provide you with all of the details and requirements as soon as the decision to invite you to the Screening Committee meeting has been made.
Q: What is a Twin Cities Angels dinner like?
Dinners are held at different locations around the Twin Cities. Companies are invited to socialize with members during the social hour in advance of their presentations. During dinner they are then afforded 15 minutes to present their company and to answer questions. Assuming the membership has interest, additional diligence and negotiation of a potential investment may follow and eventually an investment may be made.
