Partners & Co-Sponsors

PATCA is dedicated to developing innovative marketing strategies that accelerate business for our members and deliver definitive results for our clients. In keeping with this commitment, PATCA creates success partnerships with complementary organizations.

We've formed the following alliances to gain maximum leverage in bringing you events, seminars and meetings with key consulting thought leaders:

	IEEE-CNSV – Formed in 1995, the IEEE Consultants' Network of Silicon Valley has about 100 members. It is organized under the auspices of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world's largest technical professional society. IEEE-USA supports the career interests of self-employed IEEE members in the United States through the Alliance of IEEE Consultants' Networks (AICN), of which CNSV is a member.
	San Jose/Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce – PATCA is a member of the San Jose Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce, which provides discounts, educational events, and networking opportunities for PATCA members.
	Mountain View Chamber of Commerce – PATCA is a member of the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce, which provides meeting space for PATCA Board of Directors’ meetings, educational events, and networking opportunities for PATCA members.
	Link Silicon Valley, LLC (LinkSV) is an online networking resource for researching, identifying and contacting companies and people in the SF Bay Area technology community. The LinkSV database has more than 7,000 companies comprised of IPO companies, startups, acquired or liquidated companies, and VC firms. LinkSV records identify the senior team, board members, financing, key partners and customers.  There are many features which allow consultants to view the information from different angles and "connect all the dots."  LinkSV, a PATCA partner, helps consultants tap into previously scarce and extraordinarily hard-to-find information on early stage companies and the key people associated with them. This will improve members' effectiveness without the hassle and time of trying to do it all on their own.  LinkSV is ideally suited to help PATCA members quickly identify and leverage their own connections in identifying new business opportunities; and provides LinkSV clients with information about PATCA as a LinkSV Partner.
