Tech Coast Angels is an angel investor network in the United States and one of the leading sources of funding to early-stage companies in Southern California. Since its inception in 1997, TCA members have focused on building valuable companies, personally invested nearly $119 million, and helped portfolio companies attract more than $1.4 billion in additional capital, mostly from venture capital firms. TCA members give companies more than just capital; they also provide counsel, mentoring and access to an extensive network of potential investors, customers, strategic partners and management talent. TCA has more than 250 members, including its venture capital affiliates, in five networks in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Westlake/Santa Barbara and the Inland Empire. Noteworthy investment exits for the TCA include "Sandpiper Networks" and "Green Dot Corporation", both returning 100X or more of TCA invested capital . In December 2011, Tech Coast Angels announced that Steve Flaim has moved into the position of Chairman of its Board of Directors. Flaim has been a member of the TCA since 2004 and was previously President of the San Diego chapter of the Tech Coast Angels. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Peters, Frank )〕 ==Investment portfolio== The Tech Coast Angels investment portfolio page lists investments in general categories such as Advanced Technologies, Clean Tech, Consumer, Digital Media, Financial, Industrial, IT, Life Science and Software.〔TCA website.
