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.

In this hands‑on session, you’ll use Claude to build a job hunt agent that actually saves you time instead of creating more busywork. You’ll learn how to set up focused channels for targeting roles, researching companies, and tailoring outreach, then wire in various APIs so your agent can pull fresh job postings and context on demand. We'll learn how to have a reusable channel setup and prompt patterns you can run weekly to keep your search organized, personalized, and mostly on autopilot.Build an AI agent that job hunts while you sleep.
AI agents are an emerging way to automate parts of your job search, from sourcing roles to drafting outreach, so you spend less time grinding and more time in real conversations.
In this beta, hands‑on workshop, you’ll follow a guided build to assemble a prototype “Job Search Copilot” using Claude. Rather than promising a polished, one‑click agent, we’ll focus on helping you understand the building blocks: structuring prompts and tasks, wiring simple workflows, and tailoring behaviors for your role or niche.
Because tools and setups vary, not every participant will leave with a perfectly running agent in their own environment. Instead, you’ll leave with:
- A concrete mental model of how AI agents support a job search.
- A copy of the instructor’s working example project you can study and reuse.
- Templates, code snippets, and a step‑by‑step guide you can revisit after the session to get your own version fully working.
- No prior technical experience is required, but you should be comfortable installing software and copying commands. If you hit environment issues during the live session, we’ll provide ways to follow along using prepared checkpoints so you can still absorb the patterns and process.
This session will be recorded. All registrants receive:
- The recording.
- Links to the example project.
- Written setup instructions and troubleshooting tips.
- Whether you’re a jobseeker, career coach, or a professional curious about operationalizing AI in your workflow, this workshop is designed to give you a realistic, experiment‑ready starting point, not a finished product.
What you’ll walk away with
- A reusable blueprint for building simple AI agents with modern tools.
- A prototype “Job Search Copilot” project (or access to a working example) that you can refine after the workshop.
- Practical patterns you can extend to other use cases beyond job hunting.
Finally, this session will be recorded. If you sign up and cannot make it, a recording will be sent to you.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/job-search-operating-system-build-the-strategy-before-you-make-a-move-tickets-1992312069030?aff=ideatoipoMost job seekers don’t need more motivation.
They need a clear strategy and a daily operating system.
When interviews aren’t coming, the first instinct is usually to rewrite the resume, update LinkedIn, or submit more applications.
But those are not always the real problem.
You don’t need to change your resume first.
You need to understand what is blocking traction.
You don’t need to keep editing your LinkedIn profile.
You need to know whether your positioning, targeting, or outreach is failing.
You don’t need to submit more applications.
You need a better strategy.
In this live session, Nader Mowlaee, founder of Engineer Your Mission, will walk you through a simple self-discovery audit that helps you identify what is actually stopping you from getting interviews.
Then you’ll turn that audit into a 7-day sprint plan you can execute immediately.
This is not a live resume review or generic Q&A session.
It is a repeatable process you can use every week to diagnose your job-search problems, fix what matters, and make daily progress.## What You’ll Learn
Move 1: Diagnose the Real Problem
Identify what is blocking interviews right now
Separate resume problems from targeting, outreach, and positioning problems
Answer the top 10 questions every job seeker must clarify before entering the market
Move 2: Choose the Right Hiring Path
Understand the 3 hiring paths that actually convert
Learn how to pick the fastest path based on your current situation
Stop wasting time on activities that look productive but do not create conversations
Move 3: Build Your 7-Day Operating System
Create a daily job search plan you can run in 30, 60, or 90 minutes
Use a scorecard to track what is working and what needs to change
Learn how to fix your strategy when replies are not coming
No fluff. No motivation talk. No guessing.
Just a clear job search system you can use to make better decisions and take focused action every day.
Reserve your spot and bring your current job search situation if you want to follow the process live.## Who This Is For
This webinar is built for:
Engineers, technologists, scientists, product managers
Job seekers who like structure, systems, and clear steps
