What we’re about
Welcome to VLAB's Meetup Page. Established in 1990, VLAB is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the growth and success of high-tech entrepreneurial ventures by connecting ideas, technology and people.
We host one of the leading ongoing gathering of Silicon Valley's leading entrepreneurs, industry experts, venture capitalists, private investors and technologists to exchange insights about how to effectively grow high-tech ventures amidst dynamic market risks and challenges. In a world where markets change at breakneck speed, knowledge is a critical source of competitive advantage. Our forums provide an excellent opportunity to network and learn about pivotal business issues, emerging industries and the latest technologies. Visit our website to learn more about VLAB.
PLEASE JOIN OUR MAIN COMMUNITY AT www.vlab.org/subscribe Membership is FREE.
Our planning meetings are held every month (except for the summer):
• Day: The first Tuesday of the month
• Time: 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
• Location: Sheppard Mullin, 390 Lytton Avenue, Palo Alto, CA
Please note that during the COVID-19 pandemic VLAB has temporarily pivoted to virtual events. We hope to see you again in-person as soon as it is safe to do so.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption:
Is FHE the Holy Grail for Security?Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), widely recognized as one the most secure encryption methods in cryptography, has recently seen major breakthroughs that could unlock FHE’s true potential.
FHE is a powerful cryptographic algorithm that allows trusted parties to work with encrypted data without the need of first decrypting the data. This means that organizations can view, process, and analyze data without compromising the security of that data. This capability could solve key problems and create new opportunities across a wide range of applications, such as healthcare, finance, artificial intelligence (AI), and other industries that manage highly sensitive data.
Even though the first feasible FHE scheme was proposed back in 2009, the ability to deploy FHE effectively has been limited by the processing power of existing hardware. Now in its fourth generation, recent advances in both software and hardware have triggered a new race among R&D centers and startups to apply FHE architecture to cloud services and other applications.
Using FHE to protect data in virtual environments could unlock billions of dollars in business potential in data privacy-challenged applications. Other encryption methods — such as secure-enclaves, or zero-knowledge proof — simply cannot provide the same level of security and flexibility as FHE.
In our upcoming VLAB panel discussion, thought leaders, founders, and investors will discuss the latest developments in FHE:
- Which players are leading the race to be the first to provide FHE solutions?
- What are the potential risks and challenges associated with FHE?
- Does FHE truly have the potential to be the holy grail of encryption?
Join us on December 5 to learn more about FHE.
