Startup Application

How does Match work?

If your startup fits the criteria of what a participating investor or corporation is looking for, it’s a match! You'll then have the opportunity to meet with an investor or company representative to discuss your startup. You also may be matched with more than one organization.

Some of the criteria used for matching may include industry focus, stage of company, round of funding, or alignment with corporate innovation objectives. 

The CTA Match submission period has closed. Please contact Deb Kassoff with any questions.
