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.

Explain your business idea in detail and don't skip on the information. The more details the easier for every one to understand what are you talking about. Show me how long you been in the business you want me to invest in and what kind of experience you have in that business. If you want me to invest in your business and you have no experience in that business then I am not the right investor. Show me that you have time and money invested in your business idea.

Texas > Borger

I am looking for possible investment opportunities in Texas and/or the surrounding states (Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico). I am 31 years old with a wife and 3 children ages 11, 8 and 3. I went to college and graduated with the intent on teaching and coaching. However, I began working at a refinery in 2008. In 2014 my family and I were presented with an overseas job opportunity located in Saudi Arabia. I accepted the job and have been working overseas since June 2014. My plan is to stay here to the end of 2018 when I should relocate to Texas. Up to this point the only investing I have done has been in the stock market. If the opportunity presents itself I would be willing to invest while still overseas. Of course this would mean I would have limited hands on involvement until I relocated back to the states. Once in the states I could be more hands on if required.
