Founded in 1986, SDVG is a non-profit organization designed to bring together people who are interested in new ventures and furthering individual companies, as well as our overall innovation community.

We are working hard to further San Diego’s status as a leading entrepreneurial and venture region.  We regularly meet with startup companies and investors – both here and outside of San Diego.  It is our mission to elevate the funding environment and growth prospects for our local startups.  It is all about the companies, for the companies.  We further work to support our venture capital eco-system by providing an informal and dynamic environment for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, community leaders, and business advisors to develop greater insights into the process of forming, funding, and scaling high growth companies.
