What we’re about
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.

AI continues to evolve and the latest trend is context engineering. AI context engineering is an emerging discipline that extends beyond crafting individual prompts to architecting the entire informational environment for large language models (LLMs). Rather than focusing solely on the immediate instruction, context engineering involves designing dynamic systems that supply the right data, tools, and formatting at the optimal moment to enable LLMs to perform complex tasks accurately and reliably.
If you're wondering how AI context engineering can be transformative for your job, business, or career, this 60-minute webinar by AI expert Eric Forst will show you how. You'll discover:
- What AI context engineering is and why it's the next step from Generative AI
- How AI context engineering can boost productivity and operations
- Why mastering AI context engineering will be a boost to your career
- How you can build custom GPTs with an AI context engineering mindset
- And so much more!
Learn how AI is evolving and what your role in it can be. Spots are limited—register now and take the first step toward AI mastery!
We'll also be sharing an upcoming 3-hour, online boot camp where we'll dive in-depth into building custom GPTs for your business or career with AI context engineering. There's something for everyone, whether you work at a corporation, are founding a startup, or want to learn a new skill.
