“The CTA Match event provided an effective and efficient way to meet with the most innovative startups at CES 2023. With an opportunity to review pre-curated companies in my firm’s area of investment interest and dual-opt in match system, my colleague and I were able to meet a slate of companies that were both interesting to our firm and who were interested in meeting us. Bravo to the CTA for a program that brings together members of their community to fuel the global innovation ecosystem.”Eric Hsia Translink Capital
"CTA Match has been of incredible value to our software startup. It was an excellent opportunity to be matched with investors that were not on our radar. Getting matched has been smooth and easy for us, as CTA did most of the heavy lifting in vetting startups and matching them with potential investors. I recommend CTA Match to anyone looking for new investors in North America.”Karl Heinz Frankeser METAVSHN
