GSA Venture Capital Advisory Council

GSA established the VC Advisory Council to bring together industry expertise from the VC community in an advisory capacity to help educate and provide data on unique attributes in funding successful tart-up companies. The goal of the VC Advisory Council is to support GSA's goal to encourage and support entrepreneurship. The Council supports GSA to identify trends for investing, forecasting for investments, best practices, executive searches and to share information among VC firms committed to semiconductor companies and GSA. Advisory Council representatives may also author articles, participate on panels, host events and provide ideas for GSA programs.
