CTA Match

Startup Application

Our matching service makes meeting the investors you want to connect with easier than ever.

Applying for CTA Match could lead to the biggest introduction of your career.

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

CTA provides the opportunity for startups to establish relationships with some of the most influential investors and largest companies in the world. If selected, you’ll be provided the opportunity to meet one-on-one with VCs and corporate enterprises to pitch your startup. 

How does the CTA Match program 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.
