Around The Valley

Founders and Funders (Los Gatos)

Even with SF Tech Week in full swing, the South Bay crews pulled off an amazing networking event in Los Gatos. The vibe was through the roof, and we felt like we were in our own orbit, and that’s all that matters. We are still feeling FOMO from the afterparty we missed.

Tech Week Social with a Twist (San Francisco)

In partnership with DJ Deep and Preethy Padmanaban, our Tech Week Social had a contagious energy. With jets flying overhead for Fleet Week, the excitement was palpable. A special thanks to Nixon Peabody and their team for the fantastic hospitality.
