Our Legacy

TCVN hosts bi-monthly events presenting educational material, sound advice, and introductions to experts regarding all aspects of starting a company, including legal, financial, operations, marketing and distribution. Successful entrepreneurs present their significant experience and advice, giving back to the Orange County startup community. Many startups who learned from TCVN return after successful startups to mentor the founders of our future.

Our Community
