We use capital to help grow venture ecosystems so that new players can compete in the modern economy. We are practicing venture capitalists headquartered in Silicon Valley who are also among the world's leading experts in innovation-based economic development. We deliver services for a broad range of clients, including governments, institutions, universities, corporations, and development organizations.
Our services include:
Leadership in Innovation
Our team has managed innovation organizations at the forefront of the field. T2VC was originally launched as a spinout from the Larta Institute, which mentors and assists hundreds of startups commercializing science funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Department of Energy (DOE).
Through our team's relationship with Global CONNECT, we can access a network of over 43 innovation clusters in over 23 countries. Global CONNECT is based at the University of California at San Diego and is a leading think tank and consultancy that assists governments, organizations, policymakers, and civic leaders develop strategies to enhance the growth of innovative ventures.
Innovation is Global
We specialize in working with breakthrough technologies at the great universities that aren’t necessarily called Harvard or Stanford. Billions of dollars of cutting-edge research is conducted at leading universities around the world. Because almost all of the world’s venture capital happens to reside in a few places, however, most innovation never gets a fair shot at the commercial market. We help bridge that divide. We believe that innovation, done right, can raise standards of living for billions of people.
Government Matters
We understand how venture capital and public policy interact. The venture capital industry has been built on public investments in research and commercialization in a regulatory framework that allows the formation of risk capital. We have a special skill set that combines experience in mentoring thousands of startups while also serving dozens of governmental clients over the years. We can leverage this understanding for the benefit of our companies and partners.
Valued Colleagues
We treat our clients with respect and as valued colleagues. Our team's list of current and past clients is vast and includes projects with governments and organizations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Finland, Sweden, South Korea, Israel, Russia, Armenia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Colombia, the Palestinian Territories, Kazakhstan, and institutions such as the World Bank, USAID, the U.S. State Department, and many others.
