TEN Capital Network

Platform that connects startups and growth companies with a large network of accredited investors and family offices.

Description

  • Method: Founders can begin by scheduling an initial call to discuss their fundraising needs via the TEN Capital website.
  • Materials: Applicants prepare essential documents like pitch decks and financials. A core requirement is the willingness to provide consistent content updates (for email campaigns and events) to investors.
