TCA Venture Group: Catalyzing the Startup Ecosystem

TCA Venture Group (TCA), formerly known as Tech Coast Angels, is headquartered in Southern California, plays a pivotal role in fueling the growth of the startup ecosystem. With approximately 400 members and five angel funds, TCA has the resources and expertise to support startups through seed, bridge, and early A-round funding.

TCA seeks companies with innovative solutions to meaningful problems—those that offer clear, sustainable, and differentiated advantages. Our investments span a wide range of industries (see our portfolio for details).

Beyond funding, TCA provides early-stage entrepreneurs with the critical tools for success: connections, mentorship, knowledge, and operational support. While we work with startups across the U.S. and Canada, we prioritize supporting California-based entrepreneurs with bold, game-changing ideas.

Through our affiliation with over 50 angel groups nationwide, TCA has the ability to syndicate deals, further amplifying the opportunities we create for startups.
