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 Auckland and beyond.

Join us for a live mock interview and better prepare for your upcoming job opportunities.
Mastering the job interview is essential to landing your opportunity. What you say matters, from understanding what's at stake for the company to how your current and previous experience match with what the employer needs. With the market more competitive than ever for technical talent, getting into the gym to practice can make the difference between getting an offer and having to try again.
In this week's technical mock interview, we're featuring Zachary, who will be doing a software engineering systems design interview. You'll learn how to answer technical questions, including how to write code that works and meets an organization's needs.
Finally, do you want to be mock interviewed? Send an email to albert@ajobslist.com and we'll feature you next.4 attendeesSilicon Valley Business Networking (Online)

"I've applied to 80 jobs. I've heard back from one."
You've heard this from your smartest friends. From former top performers. Maybe from yourself. The market changed — AI rewrote the rules, recruiters are overwhelmed, and job seekers are exhausted. If that's you, the problem isn't effort. It's that effort without a strategy just produces more applications, not more offers.
In this session, you'll see the difference between doing more and doing the right things — and walk away with a concrete next step, not another list of tips to sit on.
What you'll learn:- The #1 mistake that makes even qualified candidates invisible to recruiters
- How to build a target market instead of applying to anything remotely related to your background
- Why "networking" usually fails — and what a useful conversation actually looks like
- The shift from application volume to strategic execution, and how to make it stick past week one
This is for you if:
- You've been laid off, ghosted, or stuck without knowing why
- You're changing careers and don't know where to start
- You're tired of activity that doesn't turn into conversations
From there, two paths, not two products with a winner. Work through your strategy independently with The Playbook. Or get live coaching and a cohort in 6 Weeks to Hired: The Fall 2026 Job Search Bootcamp — Playbook included for the program, plus two months free after it ends.
Either way, you leave with a plan, not a longer to-do list.2 attendees
