FAQ

What type of dealflow is ZINO Society looking for?

  • Most of our investors take a portfolio approach to angel investing and invest across a broad range of segments.
     

How does the process work?

  • Companies that apply will join the pool of companies that are evaluated for selection to present at upcoming investor forums

  • Upon applying, the company becomes eligible for the ZINOpreneur Resource Program, entitling them to an array of benefits

  • Each month the ZINO Society Screening Board reviews all of the applicants in the pool and makes recommendations based on the executive summaries on file

  • Companies will either be;

  • a)Moved to the second tier of the screening process and asked to give their presentation at a screening/coaching meeting or,

  • b) If the committee feels that more preparation is needed, an evaluation will be provided to the company, outlining the steps needed to be re-considered

  • Companies can utilize the wide range of services that ZINO Society provides to help support companies with these steps

  • Companies that present at the second tier screening meeting will either be asked to present at the upcoming Roundtable investment meeting, or may be asked to present at a future meeting
