Carolina Angel Network (CAN) has once again teamed up with KickStart Venture Services and Innovate Carolina to offer a unique opportunity for early-stage, UNC-affiliated startups. Following the success of the Fall 2020 pilot, CAN will continue to connect startups with one of the nearly 200 network members to provide specific, experience-backed advice. Moving forward, CAN will offer mentoring to companies on a biannual basis. CAN members come from all industries and a variety of professional backgrounds, from serial entrepreneurs to R&D experts, making this a potent opportunity to propel startups forward.

The second round of CAN mentoring is now open for companies to apply, the application deadline is Friday, December 18, 2020 by 5:00pm. Interested companies should complete this short form to be considered; participating companies will be matched with experienced mentors in early-January 2021.

Please note: this is not a funding opportunity, CAN members will provide mentoring or one-time advice to companies. Companies interested in applying for funding can find more information on the CAN website.
