Troy Collective is a curated community of builders, investors, and operators shaping the Bay Area tech ecosystem. Rooted in USC. Open to all.
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.
Quality over quantity. Every gathering is intentional — designed for meaningful connection, not mass attendance. We start narrow and grow through referrals.
Our foundation is the Trojan network, but our events welcome anyone building in tech. The best ideas don't check for alma maters.
We believe in showing up. A regular cadence of events builds the depth of relationship that turns contacts into collaborators.
Our event series brings together founders, operators, and investors for conversations that matter.
A concentrated group of decision-makers and builders actively shaping the technology ecosystem.
Seed to growth stage. Building the next wave of technology companies across AI, SaaS, FinTech, and emerging verticals.
Pre-seed through pre-IPO. Venture capital partners and angels actively deploying into the Bay Area ecosystem.
Senior leaders across product, engineering, design, and go-to-market at high-growth startups and established tech companies.
