About the Diablo Valley Tech Initiative
The DVTI is led and run by volunteers in the Diablo Valley community. It does not have any legal standing of its own and is not recognized by the IRS as a legal entity. As such, it does not maintain a bank account or physical address.
​
Rather, DVTI is a virtual organization with regular meetings and minimal governing structures and titles. The goal of DVTI is to study and promote the ideas that enable the Diablo Valley to cultivate and benefit from a thriving tech sector.
DVTI is currently housed at, and affiliated with, the Diablo Valley College Workforce Development and Business Administration Departments.








The Diablo Valley Tech Initiative (DVTI) studies and promotes the ideas that enable the Diablo Valley region to cultivate and benefit from a thriving technology sector.
