This Meetup is for currently active founders and CEOs. We are committed to sharing information and ideas to make the most of our companies. We do that through face to face gatherings and online.

We care about a variety of topics including:

  • Founding teams
  • Business and capital formation
  • Strategy, business and financial models
  • Recruiting, benefits and retention
  • Sales, marketing, business development
  • Intellectual property and licensing
  • Aligning business goals with founder goals

Our objective is to forge new connections among peers who are dedicated to sharing what they know and being responsive to questions from their fellow Startup Alliance members.

If you're a founder or CEO, we invite you to join us and get involved!

Note: To maintain the quality of the group, we restrict membership to founders and CEOs who are currently running a startup and whose membership goal is to exchange information and ideas with their peers to the betterment of each of their companies.

For general networking and exposure to tons of great startups, look into the SVNewTech Meetup. And for a great summary of startup events, check out startupdigest.com. Both of these are awesome!
