Texas Venture Connect - Rio Grande Valley (TVC-RGV)
We at the UTRGV Center for Innovation & Commercialization are so proud to be behind TVC-RGV -- the Rio Grande Valley-based chapter of Texas Venture Connect, a state-wide mentor network that brings together diverse experts and experienced entrepreneurs to increase the success of UT-related innovators.
The Perfect Opportunity to Grow
Seeking Entrepreneurial Mentors, Experienced or Even Just Interested!
TVC-RGV provides local innovators and entrepreneurs with access to experienced mentors to accelerate and support in commercialization, helping turn their startup or business into a scalable enterprise. As the state-wide Texas Venture Connect seeks to empower UT-related innovators, we do specifically serve individuals and teams formed out of UTRGV (students, staff, faculty, and alumni all may apply).
As part of the program, mentees/founders will receive guidance in a conflict-free and confidential environment from a team of experienced professionals such as entrepreneurs, attorneys, CEOs, CFOs, marketers, IT professionals, and other subject matter experts.
Our mission is to create a support system of mentors with different industry knowledge and expertise to ultimately help grow innovation and strengthen entrepreneurship in the RGV. This program will also provide periodic training opportunities for mentees to advance professionally and mentors to become the best mentor possible.
