“Our newer members are quickly seeing the value of investing alongside experienced investors who have spent decades building and scaling companies,” said Gary Forni, Managing Director of CTAN. “Some members choose to be highly engaged with founders, while others, especially Family Offices, are looking for a one-stop shop for their high-return startup investments. What brings many of both sides together is the desire to put both their capital and experience to work in building the next generation of companies.”

While venture markets remained slower in 2025, CTAN’s portfolio continued to hold value across the broader portfolio, with several companies increasing markedly in valuation during the year.

Founded in Austin in 2006, CTAN has become one of the most active angel investing organizations in the country, connecting accredited investors with high-growth startups across sectors including enterprise software, healthcare, aerospace, energy, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing.
