  • Background
CTAN was founded in 2006 by Jamie Rhodes who, along with a group of local investors and community leaders, believed that early-stage investing could provide a meaningful return for investors while also spurring local economic growth. CTAN was formed as a not-for-profit corporation and individual Members of the organization volunteered their time and expertise to review potential investments, assist entrepreneurs and take care of administrative duties. The Central Texas area benefits from having an organized group of angels that aid local entrepreneurs in need of capital and/or expertise to build their businesses.  In an era when venture capital groups are reluctant to fund early-stage start-ups, angels are a necessary funding option that keeps the start-up environment thriving.  In Central Texas, there is a large pool of high-net-worth individuals with business experience who are looking for investment opportunities and who enjoy being involved with entrepreneurial ventures.  CTAN provides a forum for such individuals to cooperatively source and vet deal flow.
