What we’re about
Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs (SVE) is the largest grassroots community of startup founders in the Bay Area, active since 2008. With over 30,000 members, SVE has been the launchpad for thousands of innovators—providing opportunities to pitch, demo, and connect within the broader startup ecosystem. Our signature SVE Pitch & Demo Night is the largest and oldest community pitch meetup in Silicon Valley, where ideas turn into ventures.
Today, SVE is evolving at the frontier of Physical AI, Embodied AI, and Robotics Entrepreneurship, while continuing to support innovation in construction, real estate, PropTech, and SaaS. We are proud to partner with the Physical AI Builders community, the Future 50 Physical AI Builders Program, and the F50 Physical AI Summit to accelerate the next generation of breakthrough entrepreneurs.
From weekly pitch nights and co-founder matching events, to panels, summits, and mixers, SVE remains the beating heart of Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial spirit. Whether you’re a first-time founder, a seasoned builder, or an investor seeking the next frontier, SVE is your home to connect, innovate, and grow.
