CAN is a growing group of nearly 70 accredited investors. Its investors -- male and female executives, entrepreneurs, scientists and engineers -- make their own independent investment decisions on a deal-by-deal basis. They are eager to apply their skills and put their connections and capital to work to help entrepreneurs succeed. Since formation in early 2015, CAN has invested more than $6.6 million in 35 startups, half of which are headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia, a quarter in D.C. and other regions of Virginia, and the remainder throughout the U.S. and beyond. CAN invests in seed, angel, and friends & family rounds in promising startups raising less than $5MM. They typically invest $100K-$300K in a round and frequently partner with co-investors on Series A and B rounds. The screening committee, comprised of members, meets monthly to review applications and selects 3 companies to present to CAN members each month.
