The Rio Bravo Technology Entrepreneurs Council



The Rio Bravo Technology Entrepreneurs Council (TEC) was formed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, connecting innovative, high-growth companies to knowhow, talent, technology and capital.

Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of any region.  The Rio Bravo TEC develops, mentors and nurtures entrepreneurs, providing educational opportunities, problem-solving, interaction with industry experts and other successful entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, professional advisors and leading R&D centers.

Entrepreneur members, attempting to access markets outside the region, are often each other’s best advisors and partners.  The Council gives members the forum to share success stories and challenges, and collaboratively address issues of common interest.

Whether you are looking for insights on emerging technology, access to major markets or capital, or for one-on-one mentoring, TEC events offer the format and content you need to deliver outstanding opportunities for networking, practical education, and inspiration.

Each meeting provides opportunities for social networking with other entrepreneurs and supporting professionals, an interactive session with a successful entrepreneur or leading industry expert, and an open forum for discussing success stories and solving problems.  In addition, TEC will provide active linkages for entrepreneur members, connecting them with sources of financial, accounting and legal expertise, research and engineering capabilities, and management talent – all the resources necessary to grow their companies fast. 

TEC will also provide periodic intensive training forums for topics of particular interest to members, such as: 

  • Raising Venture Capital
  • Living with Sarbanes-Oxley
  • Licensing Intellectual Property
  • Using Stock Options to Attract and Retain Talent
  • Developing a Fast-Growth Venture
  • Taking Your Company Public
  • Honing Competitive Advantage
