What we've learned

Entrepreneurs come with a myriad of skill levels and varying degrees of competence and readiness. TVC’s role is to inform, educate, and connect entrepreneurs with a community, resources, and training. TVC’s 2019 success includes two businesses now live and operational in 2020. A winning TVC entrepreneur is one that comes knowing their field of expertise, but needs help with one of the expert support systems we provide.
