We don’t sign NDA’s
Blog Articles

Cottonwood Technology Fund never signs a NDA.  Cottonwood reviews around 800 pitch decks per year. If the NDA-period is three or five years we need to track thousands of NDA-agreements. We are not willing to pay the legal fees to review all those agreements and we also don’t want to be limited in sharing decks with our corporate partners. If it’s your first contact with Cottonwood Technology Fund: an option is you send us first a non-confidential deck, so we can check if there is a match anyway. And some entrepreneurs forget that patents are already protected.

The best external articles which reflects our position and opinion can be found underneath. Please read them carefully and come back to us if you want to continue the discussion without a NDA.

We are gladly having Cottonwood Technology Fund on board as lead investor. They are very supportive on aligning strategy and execution. The first year they brought in already 8 corporates as potential customer. We are surprised every time about their extensive entrepreneurial mindset, business experience and global network of Cottonwood. They have been very smart people and 24/7 supportive.

We would not exist, or certainly not in New Mexico, if it were not for Cottonwood. Until Cottonwood got involved we struggled to get attention from other capital providers. Cottonwood has been a real catalyst, beyond their money, to upgrading our management team, opening doors to potential strategic investors and customers and focusing on our market entry strategy. Cottonwood has been a great partner in driving our success in every area. I truly believe they wake up every day looking for ways and ideas that can support our success.

Cottonwood began working with me a year before they closed their first fund. Even though they weren’t initially in a position to invest they still opened doors to potential investors and customers, and assisted with the fund raising strategy and execution plan. Once their fund was closed they took an aggressive lead role in pulling together our first round and helping us launch the company. Now after having raised almost $150M they continue to support our growth, provide valuable advice and open doors to additional resources as we need them. We have been fortunate to have Cottonwood as a partner in building our company.
