TVC Team
Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, TVC
has expanded its team dramatically since late 2002 when it
was awarded a contract with the DOE. TVC relies on a core of employees
for management, administration and central services such
as market research, entrepreneurial training and executive
recruitment. The bulk of work with clients, however, is performed
by project managers. This model allows TVC
to attract highly qualified business professionals, many
of whom have started companies and raised equity capital
themselves.
