The Gulf Coast Venture Forum (”the GCVF”) is a Florida 501(c) 6 non-profit corporation, formed in 2001. The primary purpose of the GCVF is to promote the success of Southwest Florida’s new and emerging businesses by bringing together the best entrepreneurs and Angel Investors. The GCVF meets periodically at a local Southwest Florida country club to hear presentations by these early stage businesses looking for growth capital. We are at the epicenter of Southwest Florida’s Angel Investment community!
