7
SEASONS
We have a winning formula – a structured program where C-suite angel investors commit quality effort and time to engage and fund startups
GROWING
PORTFOLIO
We have raised more than $6 million to fund almost 30 startups in less than 3 years.
EXCLUSIVELY
C-SUITES
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 pitch to C-suite executives with good timing allocated to Q & A. In stage 2, C-suite executives are split into smaller clusters to deep dive with each startup.
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 us 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?
Through C-shark Tank.
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, some chill time, and some mind-body-spirit wellness experiences.
