Our Legacy

Orange County's Earliest Venture Network

Founded in 1984. 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.

A Community of Entrepreneurs & Investors

TCVN works with the Orange County investor organizations, like Tech Coast Angeles, and others to help founders understand the components of a successful investment pitch and to provide ample opportunities for practice and feedback.

We Teach Entrepreneurs

Learning how to pitch is at the heart of every entrepreneur’s journey. TCVN specializes in teaching entrepreneurs this critical skill.
