Investment thesis

Startup TNT operates angel syndicates across Western Canada, aiming to make capital access easier for local startups while giving investors a team-based, community-driven way to participate. Investors pre-commit $5,000 and pay a flat participation fee to join syndicated deals selected through recurring Investment Summits. Companies apply, undergo team-based due diligence with 20-40 investors, and progress through pitch nights to a finale where deal terms are negotiated and additional angel investments are committed live. The model treats company building and angel investing as social, collaborative activities, reinforced by weekly happy hours held across five cities. The thesis holds that local investors can achieve benchmark-beating returns by backing homegrown talent.

Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
