Last Thursday, we had an incredible time at the TCA Venture Group All Hands On Deck Meeting!

This event at the MountainGate Country Club brought together angel investors for a day of insightful conversations, networking opportunities, and inspiring panel discussions, all aimed at fostering growth and innovation in the early-stage investment community.

The event kicked off with opening remarks that set the tone for an exciting day. Attendees then delved into the Early-Stage Investment Panel, featuring engaging discussions surrounding early-stage investments. Esteemed panelists included Rick Smith of Crosscut Ventures, Howard Ko of Morpheus Ventures, Laurent Grill of JLL Spark Global Ventures, John Tabis of M13, and Parisa Khosropour of TCA Los Angeles.

After the first panel, attendees enjoyed lunch and networking, which provided a valuable chance to connect with fellow investors. After lunch, Nadia Hansen, Global Digital Transformation at Salesforce, spoke as the keynote speaker, offering enlightening insights on digital transformation from her experience at Salesforce.

The Deep Tech Panel followed, exploring cutting-edge technologies and their investment potential. This panel featured Yipeng Zhao of Embark Ventures, Sanjeev Rao of River Guide Labs, Nadia Hansen of Salesforce, and Pat Hwang of TCA Venture Group Orange County.

Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for making this event a success! 🎉 Huge shout out to Taissa Maleh of Pegasus Angel Accelerator for helping make this event happen!

We look forward to many more opportunities to come together and drive innovation in the investment community. 🚀

🐋Andrew Stewart Leahy, founder at Seed Accel, shares his advice for startup founders on achieving sustainable growth.

He emphasizes thinking incrementally - gaining one new loyal fan or customer at a time.

This compounds over time into a flywheel effect. Rather than getting distracted by chasing big partnerships early on, Leahy stresses focusing on delivering value one customer at a time, building loyalty and word-of-mouth momentum.

He advises founders to zoom in on the individual customer experience while also zooming out to see the flywheel effect over time.
