About us
Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley - the innovation capital of the world.
Never before has it been so 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.
Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.
One of the compelling features of our meetup group is our packed, busy calendar full of informative programs and practical activities designed to help our entrepreneurial members achieve their objectives and realize their aspirations.
We meet regularly to share resources, exchange ideas, and network. We participate in on-line as well as off-line events.
Our events feature expert speakers, networking opportunities, collaboration, community, and fellowship.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/3-hours-to-research-intelligence-build-your-first-ai-agent-tickets-2000234783081?discount=MEETUP&keep_tld=trueYou'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 attendeeSunday Night Networking (In-Person)
