What North Texas Angel Network does

North Texas Angel Network (NTAN) is a Dallas-based, Texas non-profit angel investor organization founded in 2008 that connects accredited investors with early-stage companies, primarily in SaaS, fintech, B2B/B2C technology, consumer products, healthcare, and services. With approximately 70 members, NTAN is the largest angel network in the Dallas Metroplex and invests in 10-15 startups annually, screening applicants through a multi-step process and deploying capital through direct member checks, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), or AngelList syndicates. Members collectively have invested more than $14 million into portfolio companies over the organization's 17-year history, including Compression Works, Snipitz, Responsum, PodUp, Glidance, and One Stop Wellness.

NTAN's core products are membership tiers (Individual/Couple in-person membership for DFW-based accredited investors, and a Virtual Membership tier for remote participants) plus operational infrastructure built on the Dealum deal-flow platform, Zoom for hybrid pitch meetings, Google Drive for content distribution, and AngelList for syndicated investments. The organization does not charge companies seeking funding; revenue is generated from member dues and corporate sponsorships from professional service providers (legal, accounting, HR, coworking, marketing) that supply services to portfolio companies. NTAN is governed by a member-elected board and supported by an Executive Director, and is operationally embedded in the North Texas startup ecosystem through a co-location partnership with The DEC Network at Pegasus Park.

NTAN's go-to-market is community-led and facilitator-driven: deal flow is sourced through founder applications, ecosystem referrals, and university/incubator partnerships; vetted startups pitch monthly to members and guests; and members collaborate on due diligence and decide investments individually or via pooled SPVs. In 2025 NTAN joined the Texas Syndication Network, a statewide coalition of 11 angel groups that collectively deployed over $14 million in its inaugural year, extending NTAN's deal-flow reach beyond North Texas. The organization holds no patents, develops no proprietary technology beyond deal-flow tooling, and operates without institutional capital, parent company, or subsidiaries.
