Today, we welcome Hall T. Martin<\/a> to the podcast.\u00a0 Hall is the Founder and CEO of TEN Capital Networks<\/a>, formerly known as the Texas Entrepreneurial Network.\u00a0 He has been involved in the Texas angel investors community since at least 2006 when he became the director of the Central Texas Angel Network.\u00a0 Since then, Hall has gone on to start or run the Wilco Angel Network, the Austin Entrepreneur Network, the Baylor Angel Network and several others.<\/p>\n

Hall was kind enough to have me on his podcast to talk about what’s happening in the Charlotte startup\/angel community a few weeks ago.\u00a0In those discussions, I learned some things about Hall and his approach to angel investing I thought would be valuable to share with our listeners.\u00a0One of the more interesting things we dive into his view of a 3X in 3 years approach to the companies they invest in.\u00a0It’s a essentially a redemption right which protects the investor from having the startup turn into more of a lifestyle business than a fast growing startup to be acquired in a number of years.<\/p>\n

As we continue our discussions, Hall has some really good advice on ways for entrepreneurs to build relationships with local angel investors.\u00a0 We also dive into meeting structure and what Hall’s learned over the years for having angel network meetings.\u00a0 Hall also highlights ways the process has been partially moving online – even before Covid-19 – and something we can all attest to after fully utilizing Zoom and other online conferencing sites.<\/p>\n

Hopefully you enjoy today’s podcast with Hall!<\/p>\n

Our next podcast is with Scott Pope<\/a> and Eric Kirsch<\/a> as they talk about the local healthcare startup scene and their continued efforts to nurture a growing part of Charlotte’s startup scene.<\/p>\n
