TCA Venture Group, formerly known as Tech Coast Angels, is an angel investment organization composed of approximately 400 members and six regional networks across the United States. Founded in 1997, the group targets early-stage investment opportunities, primarily providing seed, bridge, and early Series A funding rounds. While the organization assesses startups throughout the United States and Canada, it maintains a primary focus on supporting California-based entrepreneurs.
The firm's investment mandate spans a broad, generalist range of industries, targeting companies that possess differentiated technological or operational advantages. In addition to financial backing, TCA Venture Group provides its portfolio companies with mentorship, operational assistance, executive recruitment support, and access to an external network of over 50 domestic angel groups for deal syndication.
