About Us

What we do

The Texas Entrepreneur Networks puts startups and mid-market companies in front of Angel Investors around the state. Typically, companies raise between $200K and $3M. Once companies have raised the funding they are looking for, we can assist with go-to-market strategies to grow the business.

Why engage with us?

Often times, an entrepreneur doesn’t know where to start to gain information about acquiring investment capital. They don’t understand the process, they don’t know what investors are looking for, and they don’t know how to find them.

We help entrepreneurs build relationships with prospective investors in our network and mentor them throughout the process. This provides our entrepreneurs with the best opportunity possible to gain investment capital through our network or Angel Investors and Venture Capital Firms.

The results speak for themselves

To date, we’ve helped entrepreneur in the state of Texas raise over $60 Million in capital for their businesses in the last two years. For the full list, click here.

Here are just a few things our clients have said about how we’ve worked with them:

“The Texas Entrepreneur Networks connects valuable, active investors with quality companies in an intimate setting. It was one of the best pitch series I’ve participated in because I was able to interact with a small group of investors and follow-up with each one. TXEN helped Greenling secure significant funding.” Mason Arnold, Founder, Greenling

“The Texas Entrepreneur Network’s Funding Forum Series is a terrific place to practice your pitch, gain feedback and network with Angels across the state.”Karen Bantuveris of Volunteerspot

“With 11 start ups to my credit, I know how critical it is to engage with experienced and knowledgeable investors. In today’s economic times add attributes like flexibility, open-mindedness, creativity, quick response times…well you get the idea.
Roadhouse Tickets engaged with the Texas Entrepreneur Networks to present our company to their network of investors. Hall Martin provided his expertise to help keep us on point and the rest is history. We were contacted by 5 highly qualified investors immediately after the presentation (and 3 other within a week) and closed our round of funding after only 8 days. We were able to select an investor that is highly compatible with our approach to business. And we got the exact deal we were seeking.
After 30 years in tech start ups I have to say has been my single best experience in fund raising.” Jack Hall, Founder, Roadhouse Tickets   

“Texas Entrepreneur Networks fills an important role in the venture funding ecosystem in Texas. TEN complements existing angel groups by finding, cultivating, and educating potential angels from across the state and provides entrepreneurs both expert guidance and an array of pathways to reach those angels. We found this to be a highly effective way to fund our startup MeetMeTix with very well qualified investors.” Ben Dyer, Founder, MeetMeTix
