Success Stories
We consistently review and update our primary metrics (cumulative since ’93):
- New business formations: 117
- Funding events: more than $1.19 billion
- Job creation: more than 13,500
Since clients do not pay fees or compensation to TVC of any kind, these are TVC’s primary success metrics. Return on our invested time with clients is paramount. While we’d like to help as many entrepreneurs as we can, we are selective and look for those with commercialization potential—that means evaluating many of the same criteria that investors use (team, technology, pain, market size, customer traction, etc.). Since we work with early stage companies, we select clients based on their potential, and help entrepreneurs drive toward each milestone. When they line up with what investors have told us they’re seeking, we’ll make the introduction.
