What we’re about
#AvantLink
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 throughout Silicon Valley and beyond.
One of the compelling features of our organization is our packed, busy calendar of informative programs and practical activities designed to help our entrepreneurial members achieve their objectives and realize their aspirations. Taking advantage of this vast array of relevant content will make you a better entrepreneur.
We believe in working together. We share resources, exchange ideas, and actively engage with each other -- on a personal level as well as on a business level. We participate in on-line as well as off-line events.
Our events feature expert speakers, networking opportunities, collaboration, community, and fellowship.
Many events on our calendar are in held in collaboration with other like-minded Silicon Valley organizations and institutions.
Our popular business and social networking mixers are festive occasions that allow you to meet new people from many different groups. We hold many social events to help members connect on a personal level and make friends.
Our network is expansive and global. We have members throughout the U.S. and around the world. We welcome international entrepreneurs from everywhere in the world to become part of our global community.
We are inclusive, not exclusive. : - )
We believe entrepreneurial educational opportunities should be accessible to anyone with a dream and ambition.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-build-a-side-hustle-as-a-social-media-influencer-tickets-1123317084639?aff=ideatoipoSocial media has become an integral part of our lives, with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook all contributing to the public consciousness. Whether it's a local restaurant, home improvement, travel bucket lists, or even the latest beverage container, there's an influencer behind that—and money too, to a tune of $24 billion.
People trust social media influencers much more than they do legacy media, with 51% of respondents in an Izea survey saying that they've made a purchase after seeing a video. Younger generations also favor influencer-led platforms, preferring authenticity over the suit-and-tie approach that their parents grew up knowing.
With the glitz, glamor, money, and freedom, it's no wonder that becoming a social media influencer is a side hustle atop the lists of many people, ranking as one of the top 3. There were 27 million engaged as content creators in 2023 alone, with 8 million seeing it as a part-time or hobby.

Artificial intelligence (AI) may not take your job, but someone who knows AI will.
That's why it's important for all workers to learn AI. While tools like ChatGPT, MidJourney, Claude, and others have taken the market by storm, skills such as prompting, development, and quality assurance will be especially critical as companies look to right-size their workforce and compete in a transformed economy.
Join our webinar and discover how you can build AI skills for your career. For February 2025, we'll be teaching you how you can use tools like Replit, Claude, and ChatGPT to build a Valentines Day themed website, whether it's to sell flowers or show that special person in your life how you feel about them, while adding features such as chatbots and blogs without any coding experience.
You'll also learn:- How AI is transforming the workforce and what steps employers are taking to get ready.
- What skills will be necessary in the era of AI, and how you can learn.
- What AI can create, and how you can learn—even if you don't have the skills.
- And so much more!
We'll also be sharing 01Hestia, an AI education platform where you can learn how to prompt your way to websites, copy, and more. Sign up for the academy today for just $20/month at https://www.01hestia.com/.
