MISSION:

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 program presented in 6 core sessions (7 sessions for Life Science Ventures only) 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.

Instructors and speakers are selected for their expert knowledge of the planned topic(s). The forum is designed as an interactive workshop with dialogue between experts and entrepreneurs. Participants are encouraged to leverage their company as a case study for group discussion. Class size may be limited.

The New Venture Forum is sponsored by SATAI and is in partnership with the UTSA Institute for 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.
