Big Ideas + Networked Capital = Great Companies
Golden Capital Venture Fund’s network is far-reaching. We manage Investment Chapters throughout California, composed of regional business, investment, and community leaders. Members of Golden Capital Investment Chapters include both limited partners and non-limited partners in GCVF— all deeply committed to supporting promising, homegrown growth companies.
Golden Capital Investment Chapters help foster GCVF activity, including GCVF investor recruitment, deal flow identification and evaluation, investment syndication, and portfolio company mentoring. Chapters meet periodically for “private showings” of GCVF-endorsed investments, including GCVF and partner fund co-investment opportunities.
GCVF is strategically aligned with Golden Capital Network, one of the premier networking organizations on the West Coast identifying, showcasing, and mentoring early-stage growth companies to its network of over 350+ angel and venture capital investors. Since 1999, Golden Capital Network's over 1,000+ alumni companies have raised over $1.3 billion in capital.
Golden Capital Network alumni companies include NovaBay Pharma (IPO); InterVideo (IPO), StubHub (acquired by Ebay), Security Focus (acquired by Symantec); PowerSchool (acquired by Apple); MaxPreps (acquired CBS), Meridian Systems (acquired by Trimble), and Hanson Information Technology (acquired by Information Global Systems).
As a strategic partner with Golden Capital Network, GCVF benefits from strong relationships with early and later-stage investors for co-investment and follow-on investment opportunities. GCVF's strategic partnership with Golden Capital Network provides opportunities to leverage a proven deal flow, investor, and resource network.
Existing Golden Capital Investment Chapters include the greater Chico, Yolo County, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, and Monterey/Santa Cruz regions.
