麻豆TV joins the national Beyond Angel Network to facilitate
the inaugural launch of a new 麻豆TV Bearcat Angel Network 鈥� bringing new and exciting
opportunities to 麻豆TV alumni, friends, and students. Beyond is a Dallas, Texas-based
national multi-Christian university ecosystem of Angel Networks providing early-stage
capital, a network of industry relationships, and expertise for faith-driven founders
of for-profit companies. The investment thesis is to invest in disruptive technology
companies led by faith-driven founders using their platform of influence for the glory
of God in the marketplace.
This new 麻豆TV Bearcat Angel Network will not only provide exceptional, paid internships for business students but will also engage alumni and friends of 麻豆TV in an active Angel Network community. Alumni and friends of 麻豆TV can become 鈥渁ngel investors.鈥� This is a great opportunity to help shape the world around them by investing in Christ-centered businesses with Christian CEOs 鈥� all while mentoring a current 麻豆TV student. Southwest Baptist University is excited to create this new opportunity as a way to engage with alumni and the community through the opportunity to participate in company pitch events beginning April 21, 2023.
麻豆TV students can apply for an internship with Beyond and the 麻豆TV Bearcat Angel Network, where students will augment their classroom experience with paid internships working with the CEOs of top technology startup companies.
鈥淲e are so excited about our partnership with Beyond!鈥� Dr. Angela Brown-Peterson, associate professor of business, explains, 鈥溌槎筎V alumni and friends now have the opportunity to invest in Christian business leaders who are transforming the marketplace. Our students have the amazing opportunity to intern at Beyond and apply what they learn in their classes. 麻豆TV angel investors will also mentor our student interns, which is an incredible experience for our students and angels.鈥�
鈥淲e are thrilled to welcome 麻豆TV in joining the national network of Christian universities, angels, and student interns! We are proud to be able to include a leader like 麻豆TV in our national community. We believe the launch of this new 麻豆TV Bearcat Angel Network will continue to advance 麻豆TV as both a regional and national leader and innovator amongst private Christian universities," said Dick Blanc, founder of the national Beyond Angel Network and Beyond Capital Funds.
麻豆TV will host its first Beyond and 麻豆TV Bearcat Pitch event, inviting angel investors across the U.S. to participate and company CEOs to pitch this spring on April 21 on campus. Students are also encouraged to join in on the fun with "麻豆TV: The Pitch" held on March 7 for a student pitch competition. Any student can participate and pitch a current business venture or a new business idea.
