Tech Coast Angels

Tech Coast Angels is an angel investor network [1] in the United States and the leading source of funding to early-stage companies in Southern California[2]. Since its inception in 1997, TCA members have focused on building valuable companies, personally invested nearly $100 million, and helped portfolio companies attract more than $1 billion in additional capital[3], mostly from venture capital firms . TCA members give companies more than just capital; they also provide counsel[4] [5] [6] [7] , mentoring and access to an extensive network of potential investors[8] [9] , customers, strategic partners and management talent. TCA has more than 250 members, including its venture capital affiliates, in five networks in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Westlake/Santa Barbara and the Inland Empire.

Noteworthy investment exits for the TCA include "Sandpiper Networks" and "Green Dot Corporation", both returning 100X or more of TCA invested capital[10] [11].

In February 2011, Tech Coast Angels announced that Mike Napoli has moved into the position of Chairman of its Board of Directors. Napoli has been a member of TCA since 2000, has previously served on the TCA Los Angeles Network Executive Committee for seven years.[12]
