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 from Silicon Valley to Alexandria and beyond.

You're either looking at a company to join, or you're trying to understand what your competitors are doing. Either way, you're researching blind—reading scattered reviews, googling company news, checking LinkedIn. It takes forever and you miss things.
Stop doing this manually.
In this workshop, you'll customize and deploy a working AI research agent in 3 hours. Fork an existing competitive intelligence agent, wire in your own data sources (RSS feeds, APIs, whatever's available), and run it. Feed it a company or industry keyword. Get back structured intelligence: recent news, hiring patterns, market positioning, gaps, red flags.
What you'll actually do:- Clone a working competitive intelligence agent from GitHub
- Add your own custom data sources (RSS feeds, open APIs, etc.)
- Test it live on a real company or competitor
- Walk away with a deployed agent you can run 100+ times
Two use cases, one agent:
- Job Seeker Mode — Research a company before you apply, interview, or accept an offer. Understand growth, hiring, leadership, red flags.
- Competitive Mode — Understand what competitors are doing, market gaps, hiring trends, strategic moves. For employees and side hustlers.
What you need before the workshop:
- 10 min of pre-work (optional, but recommended): Clone the GitHub repo, set up your API key, test it runs
- A laptop with a browser (Claude.ai)
- Basic comfort with Claude—you should already be asking it questions and iterating
After the workshop:
- Post-work recap doc: What you built, how to iterate, advanced techniques, troubleshooting
- Optional upsell: Advanced agent techniques course (separate paid offering)
This is NOT:
- A tutorial on "how to use AI"
- A guide to corporate strategy
- A tool for stalking or privacy violations (we cover ethical guardrails)
Price: $17–27 (one-time, includes materials + post-work doc)
Pre-work is optional. If you complete it, you'll hit the ground running. If you skip it, no problem—we'll set up during the first 20 minutes.1 attendeeHow to Become the Person Organizations Want to Promote

Build your career capital with the human skills that make you more valuable in the era of AI in the workplace.
Doing great work matters. Growing beyond your current role also means earning trust, communicating your ideas, navigating difficult conversations, and helping other people succeed.

That finding highlights an opportunity to create workplaces where people feel connected and motivated to contribute. 2026 Global Data Summary - Gallup
Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, released January 8, 2025, identifies leadership, collaboration, resilience, and analytical thinking as critical skills alongside growing demand for AI and other technical capabilities.
