What we’re about
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.

How to Build an eBay Reselling Side Hustle with AI in One Weekend
OnlineMost people think reselling requires pallets, weekend sourcing trips, and a garage full of inventory.
But the truth? Your highest-ROI items are probably already in your home.
Charles Costa learned this the hard way. Years ago, a friend challenged him to list something—anything—he already owned. He grabbed an old camera lens, wrote a quick listing, and expected nothing. Two hours later, it sold for $68.
That single sale changed everything. Not because of the money, but because of the realization: You don’t need a big setup to start earning—just a system.
And that’s exactly what this webinar will teach.
### In this free teaser session, you’ll learn:
- How to identify the everyday items in your home that quietly hold real resale value
- The beginner mistakes that kill trust (and how to avoid them instantly)
- Simple photography tricks that make your items stand out
- How to price confidently using real market data—no guesswork
- What actually moves the needle in your first 10 listings
- The repeatable weekly workflow used by successful resellers to build steady income
### You’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of the items in your home that can sell fastest
- The exact steps to prepare, photograph, price, and list your first products
- A confidence boost that you can make money without spending money
- A starter checklist you can use the same day to list your first item
### Plus: A Special Opportunity
At the end of the session, you’ll have the option to join the full course available now on Gumroad: https://resellingguide.ai/
Attendees will receive an in-webinar discount, so join us to get it!
Created by a veteran insider who has worked directly on marketplace systems, the course gives you a proven, practical roadmap—not generic hustle advice. You’ll learn how to launch, scale, and automate a side income without sourcing trips, pallets, or upfront investment.
If you’re ready to turn unused items into real money, this is where it begins.2 attendees
