What we’re about
Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of Silicon Valley - the innovation capital of the world.
Never before has it been so possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning desire to succeed, to make it big and change the world in a relatively short period of time.
Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.
One of the compelling features of our meetup group is our packed, busy calendar full of informative programs and practical activities designed to help our entrepreneurial members achieve their objectives and realize their aspirations.
We meet regularly to share resources, exchange ideas, and network. We participate in on-line as well as off-line events.
Our events feature expert speakers, networking opportunities, collaboration, community, and fellowship.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-HTgzDf058In today's fiercely competitive job market, where candidates with impressive qualifications abound, the interview has become the crucial differentiating factor. It is during this face-to-face encounter that candidates have the opportunity to showcase their skills, experiences, and personal attributes, leaving a lasting impression on hiring managers. A well-executed interview can be the key that unlocks the doors to your dream career.
We understand the significance of the interview process, and that's why we invite you to join us for a transformative 5-week bootcamp: Mastering the Art of Interviewing. This comprehensive program, led by renowned career strategist and Albert's List partner Cory of CareerShakers.com, is specifically designed to equip you with the essential skills and strategies to excel in interviews and secure the job you desire.
Throughout the bootcamp, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery, mastering the art of articulating stories that resonate with hiring managers. Cory, an esteemed expert in career strategy, will delve into the mindset of interviewers and unveil what they truly seek in prospective candidates. With his guidance, you will learn to craft narratives that not only captivate interviewers but also emphasize your unique value proposition, setting you apart from other applicants.
