Building a Strong Network.

At KVG we believe that networking is about building long-term relationships and a good reputation over time.

The support network we have been striving to build has one goal in mind: to help our entrepreneurs succeed. We believe that a good network is about sharing, not taking, about forming trust and helping one another to achieve success and growth with any project. Through the strong network we've been developing since our inception, we can now provide fresh ideas, raised profiles, access to opportunities, new information, advice and support to any start-up we have the privilege of working with.

KVG has Partnered with BiTWiSE

To train and found new and diverse founders in Kern County

who is Bitwise?

Bitwise has raised more than $100M in support of this important work; expanded its model to serve five cities (Fresno, Bakersfield, Merced, Oakland, and Toledo); and built a tech apprenticeship engine that will drive national jobs/economic recovery in 2021.

Bitwise Industries creates a bridge between humans from marginalized communities and stories of systemic poverty to skills and resources necessary to access opportunities in the tech industry. By leveraging public-private partnerships, Bitwise provides paid apprenticeships to students to learn tech skills, connects them to meaningful tech opportunities, and builds vibrant buildings in underestimated cities to house their work. By upskilling disenfranchised humans, it empowers them to change their own lives—which ignites and transforms the regional economies of the cities in which Bitwise serves.

We understand that launching a business in Kern County or the central valley can be a challenge without direct access to capital and connections. The men and women of KVG realize that in order to develop next generation ideas and technology, there has to be committed capital to help you achieve your business goals. Our advisors and partners have built some of the largest companies in the country and have invested in KVG to help move your company from proof of concept to market acceptance. We are looking for visionary ideas that can change entire industries.
