Texas Investment Network

Entrepreneurs - How It Works

We have created a database of Texas investors who are regular investors in Texas startups and businesses requiring capital. Our site also gives you access to investors from our partner sites in in New York, Florida, California, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Pennsylvania. We charge no commission and our rates are low, so the cost to you of finding investment can be as little as $149.

We offer a fast and easy process to get your business proposal in front of investors:

Step 1: Register as an Entrepreneur

The first step in reaching investors through the Texas Investment Network is to register. This involves answering a few questions about yourself in our one page registration form. It is free to register and the process only takes a few minutes. Click here to register.

Step 2: Create A Proposal

Once you have registered, you can then login and create an investment proposal. We don't ask you for a detailed business plan, only that you answer questions that investors need to know in order to do initial due diligence on your idea and your business. When you are ready to activate your proposal, a staff member will do a final review prior to releasing the proposal to investors.

Step 3: Find Matching Investors

Once your proposal is approved, our system will cross reference your proposal information with investor preferences to determine which investors should be notified about your proposal.

Step 4: Make Contact

Once your proposal is distributed to investors, you will be notified if an investor is interested in your proposal. Please be aware that we are a match-making service only. We receive no commissions so our rates for helping you find investors can remain low. Our system gives you access to contact information of interested investors, however, we do not become involved in due diligence, negotiations, or deal structuring between you and any interested investors.

Payment Options

Option 1 Submit your investment proposal for free using our Basic Services package. When our online matching service finds an investor interested in your opportunity, you can connect with the investor by upgrading to our Referral Services or Premium Services packages. Your proposal remains active for 180 days and all investor contacts are included in the price of the upgrade packages, no matter how many of them there are. Please Note: If you submit your investment proposal using our free Basic Services package, it must be 100% anonymous.

Option 2 Alternatively you can pay upfront for our Referral Services or Premium Services package and take advantage of our enhanced services before your proposal is released to investors. You can include contact details, website links, your logo, YouTube videos, images, and documents. This will increase your chances of finding investment by helping your proposal stand out more and allowing you easier and faster access to interested investors. Check out our our rates pages for the list of features associated with our Referral and Premium Service packages.

I have been running a $150MM general construction company for the last 26 years, and I have recently left that company and am interested in any endeavors that are in my knowledge realm. Those would include construction, development of apartment, hotels, commercial buildings, etc. I have no interest in running the day to day aspects, but I will be involved in any business I invest in. I am looking for a person, that has great motivation and drive, and hopefully an existing company that is proven, but I would also consider a start up if I am impressed with the person and their ability to get business, and to manage the day to day operations.Integrity is first with me, and I want to be able to talk freely with the person about our business, and get accurate information regarding the current position of things. I am very experienced with marketing, contracts, management, estimating, legal, etc. I am eager to find the "right" situation, and get something going.

I am a 47 year old former Chief Operating Officer of a Houston based US publicly traded global energy services firm who currently operates my own management consulting firm. I am looking for high growth potential investment opportunities and am particularly interested in disruptive technologies, particularly in the energy services sector. While I am an individual investor, for the right types of opportunity I could bring additional investors onboard. While I would ideally look to serve in an advisory role, I would also be willing to take a more hands-on role if my involvement could add value. Areas of expertise include corporate strategy, business development, commercial negotiation, project and operations management, and operational efficiencies. I have a BS in Civil Engineering from Louisiana Tech University and have graduated from the The Wharton School's Advanced Management Program at the University of Pennsylvania.

Texas > Flower Mound

I am a young investor currently living in Dallas, TX. I work in sales at a tech company. I graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration with a major in Marketing from the University of Oklahoma. I have invested in stocks and mutual bonds. I am trying to get started in investing to make more money and help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. My experience in sales and marketing could be beneficial for newer companies that do not necessarily have experience in those areas. I view those as the 2 most important skills to have in order to grow a business. Currently I am anticipating being a silent investor, but if I were to find a business that I too am passionate about I am not against having some involvement in helping them grow their company. I am an individual investor.
