Join the world's 1st C-suite executive angel syndicate where corporate executives fund startups
We have a winning formula – a structured program where C-suite angel investors commit quality effort and time to engage and fund startups
We have raised more than $6 million to fund almost 30 startups in less than 3 years.
We believe in the value of the corporate DNA. Our executives have scaled their company’s brand and market regionally and/or globally with decades of experience
What is C-shark Tank?
We are a structured and efficient program that engages and funds early-stage startups. Our formula has been continuously tested and refined through 7 seasons since the first in February 20, 2020, with more than 100 C-suite executive angels a.k.a. C-sharks.
There are 2 stages to the program.
In stage 1, startups will be given 4 mins to pitch to C-sharks, followed by 14 mins of Q & A opened to the floor.
In stage 2, C-sharks are split into smaller clusters of 4-5 to deep dive with each startup. For 20 mins, C-sharks can clarify questions that were not answered during the Q & A and gain deeper insights into the startups’ business models.
This program leverages collective executive wisdom and network. For executives, it serves as a crash course into angel investing and rich peer learning. For startups, it provides an opportunity to scale their businesses to greater premises.
What makes our program unique?
- C-suite only, at least 80% return rate every season
- Well-paced engaging interactions behind closed doors
- Heightened peer learning between executives
- Leverage economies of scale in deal flow, due diligence, legal, post-investment updates, etc
- Evaluation reports of each startup provided to investors
- Invest as a single syndicate entity but investors enjoy flexibility to make their own choices
- Exposure to startup innovation from diverse sectors
- Low investment entry barrier with a structured program
- Tap on a larger startup/accelerator/VC ecosystem at large
We are taking season 8 to Bali
How do you combine leisure, high-calibre learning, and networking together?
For the first time, we will be going overseas.
Happening from 23-26 February in Bali, Season 8 aims to bring together powerful executive minds in a relaxed setting to network and engage with startup founders who are fundraising.
This season, we’re engaging with 5 or 6 startups. In addition, we are inviting experts in private equity and venture capital to share what’s trending in the market and we will also include some fun time, chill time, and mind-body-spirit wellness experiences.

Still wondering why you should join us? Hear from the experiences of those who did
Peer learning with high-calibre and forward-looking executives is an invaluable focus of our program.
Our investors are C-suite executives with more than 20 years of experience in global multinationals
This is an authentic purposeful community of executives who want to give back and add value to scaling early stage startups. We also connect our portfolio companies to experts and VCs outside of our community.
Are you a startup looking to pitch?
Startups who have pitched to C-sharks have always been blown away by the depth of questions and the strategic advice that helps them re-think their business premise and promise.
Because we host the tank in a closed-door fashion, it is serious business in a safe space and not for casual visitor entertainment.
