We help our Member organizations navigate new technologies and market shifts, discover and engage with key emerging leaders, and unlock high-impact opportunities.

Unbiased Partners Focused on Results

We serve as a frontline extension of our Members’ executive teams, providing peripheral vision and delivering highly-targeted connectivity, deal flow and experiences to drive outcomes ranging from strategic partnerships to investments and M&A.

Our expert team is deeply embedded in Silicon Valley and beyond. We leverage our unique access, collective network (not a database) and the same intensive process that venture capitalists use to evaluate deals to provide real-time and contextual intelligence that helps Members identify and capitalize on the most relevant and impactful opportunities.

At no cost, we help you identify and build meaningful relationships with C-suite decision makers – at the right time and level – to unlock impactful customer, partnership, investment or exit opportunities.

Investors

We help you accelerate your portfolio companies’ digital transformations and global business development efforts. For firms, we bring an informational edge and unique lense to deal diligence and expand your network of F500 corporate decision makers, strategic investors and acquirers.

Corporates

We serve as trusted embedded advisors and thought partners, providing unique insights, strategic deal flow and actionable connectivity to key players across the landscape.

Who We Engage

While our Members consist largely of corporates, and our work is focused on supporting them and their innovation activities day to day, the network of who we engage with and support reaches much further. We build bridges between leading corporations, startups, investors, and industry advisors by connecting the dots and delivering highly-targeted introductions and private bespoke experiences. These opportunities offer bi-directional value to the players across our community by bringing together visionary people who are creating new technologies, platforms or paradigms of thought that will fundamentally change the way we live, work and play.

For Corporates

We act as trusted and embedded day-to-day advisors as you navigate the technology ecosystem, providing unique insights, strategic deal flow and connectivity to the key players across the landscape.

For Entrepreneurs

At no cost, we support you in identifying and building meaningful relationships with C-suite decision makers—at the right times and level—for impactful customer, partnership, investment or exit opportunities.

For Investors

We expand your network reach of relevant corporate decision makers and strategic investors, bringing value to your VC/PE portfolio companies by surfacing and accelerating their global business development efforts.

For Advisors

We align and collaborate with other trusted advisory partners to Global 2000 companies looking to support strategic agendas and tap the power of the external innovation universe and solutions from emerging companies.

In Good Company

Our Members include a diverse set of the world’s leading corporations across a wide range of industries, from entertainment to retail, telecom to transportation, oil & gas to mining, chemicals to cosmetics, and economic development organizations. Below is a representative view and cross-section of our Member community over time.

Our Home is Your Home

Our San Francisco co-working hub serves as our Members’ home—on a full or part-time basis—in the heart of Silicon Valley. The Hub is the physical backdrop for our dynamic community of senior corporate executives. It is engineered to encourage the collision of people and ideas through Member-to-Member collaboration and unique programming that brings them together with other key players across the ecosystem. Complementing our Silicon Valley headquarters “across the pond,” our satellite office in Dubai, UAE serves as our home base for the MENA region, supporting the development of startups, JVs, and partnerships globally, and in alignment with our strategic partnership with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
