About The Network
Since we funded our first venture in 2017, we have deployed over $32 million across 34 companies, forming one of the most successful university-affiliated angel networks in the nation. We have had several successful exits in that time frame and a couple failures which is expected in this investment category. The current IRR for the overall portfolio is just over 14%.
The University has empowered us to promote entrepreneurship with their financial support, educational programs from which we draw interns and connections to various leaders and academics within the ecosystem. Over the years we have recruited over 450 alumni to join CAN and they offer their time and connections to our portfolio companies. They and we are part of the team that provides value-add way past the funding.
If you are affiliated with Carolina in some way or would like to support Carolina-led companies, we would love to welcome you to our family.
