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 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.

Take back your week and become more efficient
In this hands‑on session, you’ll use Claude or ChatGPT to build a fleet of AI agents that will save you time instead of creating busywork, especially if you work in a white collar setting. Agents provide nearly 99% cheaper cost over human hours, but still require human oversight to be meaningful and powerful.
We'll and you will walk away with:- A personal branding agent that will help you write your LinkedIn posts for you based on your interests and career focus.
- A competitive intelligence agent that will tell you what your competitors are doing—and how you can respond.
- A content creation agent that will create a script for you that you can then use on YouTube, without having to do hours of research (if we have time).
- An understanding of how easy it is to get started with AI.
Together, these agents can save you up to 15 hours of work, saving you nearly 40% of your work week so you can focus on distribution and engagement.
This session will be recorded. All registrants receive:- The recording.
- Links to an example project that they can fork.
- Written setup instructions and troubleshooting tips.
This workshop will give you the beginner tools you need to become AI-fluent, especially if you're looking to increase your views, be more efficient at work, or go to a networking event with something to share.

How you present yourself matters.“Hey dude! How’s it goin’?”
Data indicates that 92% of hiring managers believe human capabilities and soft skills matter as much or more than hard skills.
Strikingly, 89% of talent recruiters report that when a new hire fails to work out, it is due to a lack of social skills rather than a lack of technical ability.
This introductory class will show you how to avoid costly soft skills mistakes.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The "energy" to avoid, and what to bring instead.
- This One “Thing” Makes People (especially women), Uneasy, (use it positively)
- The Cause of Social Anxiety, and How To “Cure” It
- Trigger Trust With These Body Language “Hacks”
- How to Naturally Keep The Conversation Going
- A Simple, Time-Tested Requirement For Leadership
- And much more!
In this webinar, master hypnotist John Farley will show you what it takes to build trust and lead. John has taken a room full of strangers and, within hours, had them walking barefoot on hot coals or broken shards of glass, or letting loose on stage. Using basic skills, you will feel more comfortable interacting with others and gaining their trust.
