Our network and programs help early-stage founders develop their investor pitches so they can grow their ideas into thriving companies.
We are known for our four annual tentpole events; The Survivor Pitch Competition, The Investor Dating Game, Rocky Founder’s Choice Awards and Wingz angel investor program.
In addition to our hosted events, our network plays a crucial role in the startup ecosystem with informal programs and content initiatives for lifetime members and the public.
TCVN was founded in 1984 as Orange County Venture Network by Greg Beck with the intention to support the nascent tech startup scene in Orange County. Over the past 42 years, we have grown into a registered 501(c)(6) non-profit Entrepreneurial Support Organization built on the same core mission through our fun and approachable events and community.

Southern California's longest-standing founder-first nonprofit, advancing the Orange County entrepreneurial ecosystem since 1984.
