About us
Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley - the innovation capital of the world.
The advent of the Digital Age has democratized innovation and entrepreneurship.
Never before has it been more possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning desire to succeed, to make it big, and in the process, change the world in a relatively short period of time.
HP, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Google, Facebook and many, many, many other iconic companies all started with just an idea.
Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley and beyond. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, engineers, venture capitalists, angel investors, educators, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.
Our mission is to provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge, guidance, tools, and connections they need to succeed. Our goal is to build a strong, vibrant, collaborative entrepreneurial community with deep, lasting business and social relationships throughout Silicon Valley and beyond.
One of the compelling features of our organization is our packed, busy calendar of informative programs and practical activities designed to help our entrepreneurial members achieve their objectives and realize their aspirations. Taking advantage of this vast array of relevant content will make you a better entrepreneur.
We believe in working together. We share resources, exchange ideas, and actively engage with each other -- on a personal level as well as on a business level. We participate in on-line as well as off-line events.
Our events feature expert speakers, networking opportunities, collaboration, community, and fellowship.
Many events on our calendar are in held in collaboration with other like-minded Silicon Valley organizations and institutions.
Our popular business and social networking mixers are festive occasions that allow you to meet new people from many different groups. We hold many social events to help members connect on a personal level and make friends.
Our network is expansive and global. We have members throughout the U.S. and around the world. We welcome international entrepreneurs from everywhere in the world to become part of our global community.
We are inclusive, not exclusive. : - )
We believe entrepreneurial educational opportunities should be accessible to anyone with a dream and ambition.

Email marketing is still secretly crushing it for 'in the know' experts.
But what do they know...?
It's all about how you get email bringing in the sales when you're trying to stand out in an A.I. infested inbox.
Speaking to hundreds of coaches, experts, course creators and service providers, it seems most people are splashing about, drowning in low open rates and dwindling sales.
That's because no one has shown you what's working right now. Most people are still doing and teaching what worked 3 years ago.
Email still crushes. But only if play by the new rules.
That's why, during this BRAND NEW MASTERCLASS (with cutting edge lessons of what's working in 2026)...
You're going to get the insider knowhow on:
⚫ How to make up to 18x MORE SALES of Your Existing Offers from Your Existing Audience.⚫ How I automatically turn NEW SUBSCRIBERS INTO BUYERS within 30 days of joining my list - in spite of their inbox being flooded with more A.I. generated shit fighting for their attention.
⚫ The PRECISE TIME TO SEND EMAILS to make maximum sales.
⚫ How to know if email marketing is right for you and your audience.
⚫ The thing you've been taught to do by every well-meaning 'guru', that's SLAUGHTERING YOUR SALES (and causing people to buy from someone else instead).
⚫ What a guy having a horrific chainsaw accident proves about THE FASTEST WAY FOR YOU TO MAKE SALES in your business.
⚫ How to quickly and easy become THE THOUGHT-LEADER THEY LISTEN TO. Even if you have no social proof at all yet. (No it's not a unique mechanism, it's not doing stuff for free, it's not content marketing - it's simpler and faster to do than all those things)
⚫ Why most email SUBSCRIBERS STOP PAYING ATTENTION before you even try and make an offer.
⚫ The system our students used to make $16,000 in 4 days, $3,600 in 4 days, and $10,100 in 4 days.*
⚫ How to use my 'Fast and Forever' email method so instead of sitting for weeks writing tons of email automations, you get fast results and have an asset that BRINGS YOU SALES ON AUTOPILOT day and night.
⚫ The 'O_____ P__________' emails I use to INCREASE MY SALES by 1,876% with the same offer, to the same exact audience.
❌ I won't be showing you some A.I. tool or prompts. You can plug what I show you into what you're doing with A.I. and get awesome results!
❌ You do NOT need to be a good writer to do this.
❌ List size doesn't matter. Most people will wish they had set this up before getting their first subscriber!
