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 from Silicon Valley to DC. and beyond.

That's why it's important for all workers to learn AI. While tools like ChatGPT, MidJourney, Claude, and others have taken the market by storm, skills such as prompting, development, and quality assurance will be especially critical as companies look to right-size their workforce and compete in a transformed economy.
Join our webinar to learn how you can build AI in your career and avoid the spookiness of being made redundant. Last month, AI developer and consultant Rene Turcios joined us to show how you can build a website using AI, and he's back with another Halloween-themed demo. You'll learn:
- How AI is transforming the workforce and what steps employers are taking to get ready.
- What skills will be necessary in the era of AI, and how you can learn.
- What AI can create, and how you can learn—even if you don't have the skills.
- And so much more!
We'll also be sharing 01Hestia, an AI education platform where you can learn how to prompt your way to websites, copy, and more. Sign up for the academy today for just $30/month at https://www.01hestia.com/.
