The Pacific Venture Club began in 1987 as one of the first true venture capital clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. After reviewing thousands of projects and facilitating hundreds of entrepreneurs with resources such as investors, management team members, partners, and outside advisors, the Club shifted its operations in 2005. The Pacific Venture Club presently concentrates on managing, mentoring, and promoting entrepreneurs for investment, business development, and partnering purposes. The Pacific Venture Club focuses primarily on pre-venture capital companies or projects seeking alternative funding sources such as private “angel” investors or corporate partners.
