The mission of the SATAI New Venture Forum is to provide start-up technology companies with the basic knowledge and skills needed to improve their probability of equity funding.
Program Description:
The SATAI New Venture Forum is a quarterly program presented in 6 core sessions designed for start-up technology companies pursuing Angel equity investment and/or ETF funding. Each session will be approximately three hours in length and one session will be taught per week over six consecutive weeks.
The classes are designed as hands-on workshops as opposed to lectures/seminars. For each session, instructors and guest speakers will be selected for their expert knowledge of the planned topic. Core knowledge will be presented and then each participant will have the opportunity to leverage their company as a case study in action. Class size may be limited.
Partnerships:
The New Venture Forum is sponsored by SATAI and is being developed in partnership with the Institute of Economic Development (IED).
Participants may elect to have their venture apply to the South Texas Angel Network for funding consideration. The South Texas Angel Network is an association of private angel investors that have an interest in investing in high tech startups.
Elevator Pitch Competition:
SATAI will host an elevator pitch competition between all current and past participants. The challengers will compete for a prize prior to our annual Christmas party. The SATAI specifics will be announced at the first session of the New Ventures Forum.
