Mountain View, California (PRUnderground) September 29th, 2020

Terecircuits Corporation, a pioneering provider of materials and processes supporting micro-assembly of displays and advanced electronics, is pleased to announce an investment from Tech Coast Angels of Orange County.

“We are excited about this latest investment from Tech Coast Angels,” said Wayne Rickard, CEO Terecircuits.  “It will allow us to add critical resources, advancing our progress toward our company’s mission of making micro-assembly accessible and affordable for the next generation of microLED displays, IoT devices, wearables, smart vehicles, virtual reality, and medical devices.  Working with such a large and experienced group of angel investors has brought both new capital and helpful additional expertise to our team.”

Tech Coast Angels OC member Ray Weston led the due diligence and negotiations for Tech Coast Angels members.  He added: “We were pleased to meet the Terecircuits founders and learn about their innovative approach of using polymer chemistry to replace the mechanical process traditionally used to assemble electronics.   We see the potential for Terecircuits’ technology to deliver a step-change in nanodevice assembly by dramatically reducing the costs, time, and error rate of manufacturing products such as advanced flat panel displays. Terecircuits is a great example of the type of entrepreneurship that TCA members like to support.”

The new investment in Terecircuits Corporation was the fourth equity investment from Tech Coast Angels Orange County’s 2020 chapter fund.  A new pool of startup capital collected from TCA members, the fund’s goal is to invest in 10-15 new companies each year.

“The new TCA OC 2020 chapter fund is the first of our annual investment funds,” said Jim Pickell, Fund Chair for TCA OC.  “We’re putting early stage capital to work more quickly and efficiently than ever before through this new structure.  We invite startup growth company CEOs to contact Tech Coast Angels to learn more,” said David Friedman, President of TCA OC.
