Pitch Award
Investments can take a while. Why wait?
With the Pitch Award, we get the money to you FAST so you can focus on your company.
How It Works
The Pitch Award is designed with startup companies in mind. We know you are busy building your company, so all you have to do is apply. All companies that apply to the Capital Angels Network will automatically be entered to win the Pitch Award. If won, your company is still eligible for further funding.
The Pitch Award is still an investment in your company, we just skip the due diligence process to get you cash as quickly as possible.
Apply to pitch!
The CAN Pitch Award Investment came when GoFor needed it most. It gave us the runway to close our angel round and keep the company going. We’ve since raised more than $20 Million in financing but it all wouldn’t have happened without that $15,000 cheque.
