About

A room where business happens

USC produces world-class entrepreneurial and technical talent — but lacks a strong Bay Area identity. Stanford and Cal dominate the narrative here. Troy Collective changes that.

We convene the most engaged, innovation-oriented segment of the Trojan network. The result: a room where people share common values, similar ambitions, and a meaningful sense of alignment — leading to unusually high-quality interactions.

Curated, Not Crowded

Quality over quantity. Every gathering is intentional — designed for meaningful connection, not mass attendance. We start narrow and grow through referrals.

Rooted in USC, Open to All

Our foundation is the Trojan network, but our events welcome anyone building in tech. The best ideas don't check for alma maters.

Consistency Compounds

We believe in showing up. A regular cadence of events builds the depth of relationship that turns contacts into collaborators.
