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-1123314827889?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.
It's time to go viral
If becoming a social media influencer has been something you've wanted to do, we're excited to bring this webinar to you featuring Charles Peralo, an entertainment influencer you've likely encountered while scrolling YouTube or TikTok. Peralo shoots videos speaking to popular culture topics, runs polls on YouTube, and engages his over 1 million followers daily, and has accumulated more than 1 billion views in that time. Sponsored by Showtime, Dominos, and Pixar, he's turned his passion for content creation into his career, and he will show you how to do the same.In this webinar, you will learn:
- What being a social media influencer means, and doesn't mean.
- How to find a niche that you can be influential in.
- What equipment to use along the way.
- What challenges and risks social media influencers face when doing their work.
- How to select the right platform to be influential on.
- How to measure success—and gain sponsors along the way.
- The myths and realities of being a social media influencer—including the money you can make.
- And much more!
Attendees will also learn about an upcoming six-week bootcamp where Charles himself will show you step-by-step how to become an influencer, including what he's done to build a sustainable business.
We look forward to having you join us!About the Speaker:
