Technology Capital Network
(TCN) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to "Make money flow between investors and entrepreneurs". TCN provides a variety of services to make that happen. TCN is the nation’s longest established venture capital network. TCN has a proprietary, computerized matching process (TECNET) to provide introductions between entrepreneurs and private investors. TCN provides high-net-worth individuals with a convenient, confidential mechanism for examining opportunities to invest in entrepreneurial ventures. TCN serves professional venture capital funds and corporate investors who are interested in early-stage, high-growth companies. TCN helps entrepreneurs whose companies have the potential for generating substantial revenue search for sources of seed and early-stage capital. Other services provided by TCN include Venture Capital Forums, Capital Pooling Meetings, an Entrepreneurs’ Financing Roundtables series and other educational services. Technology Capital Network at MIT (TCN) was founded in 1984 at the University of New Hampshire as the Venture Capital Network (VCN).  It came to MIT in 1990 and was reincorporated as Technology Capital Network. Through our computerized matching service and our education programs, we are achieving our mission of helping companies find capital to grow and helping accredited investors find companies that may result in high returns for their investments. Over the past fifteen years, TCN together with VCN has assisted the flow of $100 million from investors to entrepreneurs. TCN's greatest success thus far has been the 1999 season when more than $38 million was raised by companies involved with TCN's programs. www.tcnmit.org
