Easy Process
Deals are vetted by the Screening Committee and CAN team first. Members’ option to express interest in any deal up to 10 times per year. The CAN team completes the due diligence. Members then meet the founders as a group in a Q&A session to learn about the plans for the venture and raise your questions.
The Managing Director coordinates screening, deal flow process and due diligence analyses. The Screening Committee then evaluates potential deals as they enter the system. Outside resources are engaged in the customer review process as well as providing legal opinion on the term sheet and final legal documents.
What our Investors Say
"As a relatively new member of CAN, I’ve been impressed by the rigor of the due diligence process—including detailed due diligence reports prepared by staff, often with input from industry experts. Having access to this information in advance of hearing a company pitch, allows for more robust dialogue and, ultimately, helps me make a more informed investment decision.”
