Tech Coast Angels to Adopt ProSeeder’s Deal Flow Management Platform
San Diego, California (PRWEB) April 14, 2015 -- Tech Coast Angels (TCA), one of the most influential angel investor networks in the United States, announced today that it plans to implement ProSeeder Technologies as its deal flow management platform for its five networks. TCA had previously built its own custom system to share deals and communicate throughout its five networks. ProSeeder collaborated with TCA to create a solution that incorporated features of the existing TCA system while expanding its reach and depth.
TCA is one of the largest angel networks in the US, and is known as a trusted thought leader of leading-edge practices throughout the angel community. ProSeeder’s deal flow platform enables the angel network to have even better collaboration within, across and outside its network, and to more efficiently and effectively leverage TCA’s resources. As one example, TCA specified its need for members to indicate investment interest at presentations across hundreds of investors at screenings, and to review and RSVP to events, via a mobile device. ProSeeder was able to incorporate this feature in its mobile app.
“ProSeeder is the first packaged deal flow management system that meets our requirements,” said TCA’s chairman emeritus Mike Panesis. “Our custom system was resource-intensive, and very expensive to build and maintain. ProSeeder meets or exceeds all of our requirements, reduces our operating costs, increases our efficiency, and makes it much easier to syndicate deals.”
“Tech Coast Angels is a very tech-savvy and innovative group—and a thought leader in the way they collaborate and communicate within their large network,” said Ken Gatz, Founder and CEO of ProSeeder. “When we met with them, we understood TCA’s event-driven nature and organizational needs, their requirement to incorporate many of the features of their own platform, and the stipulation to provide additional functions that they couldn’t—such as syndication outside their own network. Our mobile app was driven in some part by their specifications, and their input and experience inspired us to move forward with and build some incredible features for all our angel clients.”
ProSeeder is a secure platform that offers a robust and fully-integrated, collaborative solution for angel networks. The customizable system gives investment groups an effective and efficient way to improve deal flow, increase member intake, coordinate events and member relations, and reduce duplication of efforts.
