Retaining Members Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In running a university angel network, the attrition rate is often lower than for non-university angel networks. The university group has a great answer for \u201cWhy invest in startups?\u201d. Many members join to support the university. The group\u2019s primary purpose is to provide the student an educational experience and help prepare them for their first job after graduation. An effective tool for retaining members is to have the graduating students send a \u201cThank You\u201d note to the investors they worked with. Another tool is bringing the students who have graduated from the program back to the university angel meetings to update the investors on their job placement and career progress.\xa0\xa0 Showing the investors the results of their work in this way inspires the angels\u2019 continued service to the investor group and the students. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0\xa0 Please , share, and leave a review.
