Testimonials

"As soon as I put in my proposal, I got offers from four different investors within 48 hours! The funding process took less than 2 weeks. I now have the funds to partner with a digital marketing agency and scale my e-commerce business! 10/10 will certainly recommend this site to other entrepreneurs."

Investors - How It Works

The California Investment Network is designed to help business investors find the best investment opportunities in California. The California Investment Network belongs to an integrated network of Dealflow sites serving 9 of the largest US states so can offer you access to a steady flow of targeted business proposals from the best US markets. We will email you business summaries that match your investment criteria or you can search for opportunities within our database. Our opportunities range from seed capital for leading edge start-ups to growth capital for profitable mature businesses.

Our process is as follows:

Step 1: Register as an Investor

The first step is to register. It is free and takes just a minute. Select your own investment criteria so that you only receive proposals that would be of interest to you. You will be sent an email to confirm you email address. Your membership will then need to be approved by our staff before you can log in. You will be notified via email once your account has been activated.

Step 2: Notification

Once registered you will receive proposals via email that match your investment criteria. The proposals contain answers to specific questions that investors need to know in order to understand important aspects of the business and decide if you should contact the entrepreneur to learn more. We do not send out full business plans, however, entrepreneurs can upload them as attachments to their proposal which can be reviewed online.

Step 3: Review Opportunities

You can log in and review investment opportunities in the system as often as you like and even look at ones that are outside your investment criteria. We offer tools that allow you to actively manage your list of investment opportunities by adding, deleting, and saving opportunities.

Step 4: Make Contact

Once you find a proposal of interest, you can send a contact request to the entrepreneur by logging in and clicking a contact button on their proposal. This notifies the entrepreneur of your interest in their proposal and adds them to your list of contacts. In your list of contacts, there are Fees Paid and Awaiting Response icons to let you know which entrepreneurs have paid our investor referral fee. Those with Fees Paid will receive your contact details immediately. Those with Awaiting Response are still waiting for enough interest to be generated before paying the fee. Please be aware that we are an match-making service only. We receive no commissions and do not become involved in any due-dilligence, negotiations, or deal structuring between you and the entrepreneur.
