Jenny Q. Ta
Jenny Q. Ta is a veteran of Wall Street, self-made millionaire, and seasoned entrepreneur with two highly successful early ventures to her credit. As Founder and CEO of Titan Securities, a full-service broker-dealer and investment banking firm, Ms. Ta built a company that was profitable enough to be acquired in 2005. Prior to that venture, Jenny had filled the role of Founder, CEO, and driving force behind Vantage Investments, another full-service broker-dealer and investment banking firm that she started while still in her twenties and quickly grew to a-third-of-a-billion dollars in assets.
Ms. Ta’s more recent entrepreneurial endeavors include masterminding two modern tech companies: VCNetwork.co, a virtual “E-Harmony meets Shark Tank” matching entrepreneurs with VCs, and CoinLinked.com, a recently announced and currently pending rebranding of her first-of-its kind “social networthing” platform, Sqeeqee.com. These latest two ventures are solidly founded upon Jenny’s rich business background, which includes extensive firsthand experience in senior executive management, sales, marketing, and finance, with forays into the FinTech industry, exploring the opportunities that cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and other distributed ledger technologies create.
Jenny is also a published author, whose book, Wall Street Cinderella, details her escape from Vietnam during the war and her path to success from welfare to Wall Street. The book serves as a helpful road map for women who are determined to pursue a successful career in business. Ms. Ta’s educational background includes a Master of Business Administration degree in Financial Management. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Management Information Systems from CSU, Fresno.

CNN MONEY: From Wall Street newbie to millionaire by 27
(5/2015) Serial entrepreneur Jenny Q. Ta is in a rush. Her destination? Another million-dollar idea.
Speed is her friend, and it's served her well so far.
"As a kid growing up on welfare in Fresno [Calif.], I learned early on that I had to make things happen for myself," said Ta.
Ta graduated a year early from high school and got a degree in business information systems from California State University in just three years.
At 21, she got an entry-level job at Lehman Brothers for $10 an hour as a new accounts clerk. "It was one position up from a filing clerk," she said.
She quickly mastered jobs in the brokerage bullpen, but quit in a year. "I was told that as a woman it would take me years to advance and become a broker," said Ta.
