Welcome to the Tri-Valley Innovation Network, better known as TVIN. We are the Tri-Valley area’s (Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Ca.) community for entrepreneurs! We work in concert with our local municipalities, business organizations, and education communities to accelerate the creation of new businesses and enhance economic growth here in the Tri-Valley.

We’re a trusted community where entrepreneurs can find education, resources, and services to help them take their innovative ideas and convert them quickly into a successful and rewarding business. TVIN’s key objectives are to:

• Educate: Provide hands-on how-to programs and tools to help entrepreneurs Start, Manage, Grow, and Buy or Sell a business. We also create unique discussion forums such as Ask the Experts and the E(ntrepreneur) to E(ntrepreneur) group. TVIN offers mentoring and business assistance as a unique way for members to get advice from local business people with a wealth of experience.
• Innovate: Provide market news and trends, business ideas, how-to guides, research and academic resources, grant funding and sponsorships and private finance.
• Demonstrate: Display and host case studies, articles, interviews, discussion forums, webinars, events, mentoring, investment and video blogs on subjects of importance to entrepreneurs and small business owners.

We wish to thank everyone here in the Tri-Valley area who has contributed funding and tireless hours of effort to make this a success. We wish to give special recognition to the cities of Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon for their grant to create TVIN’s website and to Zinfi Technologies, Inc. who also co-funded and developed the site.
