About us
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 UK and beyond.

Build your career capital with the human skills that make you more valuable in the era of AI in the workplace.
Doing great work matters. Growing beyond your current role also means earning trust, communicating your ideas, navigating difficult conversations, and helping other people succeed.
The need for stronger leadership is real. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report, published in April 2026 using data collected January–December 2025, found that only 20% of employees worldwide were engaged at work. That finding highlights an opportunity to create workplaces where people feel connected and motivated to contribute. 2026 Global Data Summary - Gallup
Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, released January 8, 2025, identifies leadership, collaboration, resilience, and analytical thinking as critical skills alongside growing demand for AI and other technical capabilities. Employers also identify empathy and active listening among their core skills. World Economic Forum.
As AI changes how work gets done, how can you strengthen the human skills that help you stand out—and prepare for greater responsibility?
Join Albert’s List, Jean Steel of Happy People Win, and Ericka Scott of Ericka Alice Co. for a practical, engaging conversation about building your career capital: the skills, relationships, credibility, and judgment you bring to every opportunity.
Whether you’re pursuing a promotion, exploring your next role, or learning to lead without a management title, you’ll leave with ideas you can put to work immediately. Bring your questions and your real workplace challenges.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how to:- Make your contributions visible
- Build trust and influence: Listen well, strengthen relationships, and lead beyond your title.
- Demonstrate readiness: Show initiative, exercise judgment, and follow through on commitments.
- Strengthen your human advantage: Develop emotional intelligence and navigate difficult conversations as technology reshapes work.
- Choose your next step: Identify a leadership skill to strengthen and one action to begin practicing.
We’ll also introduce Emerging Leaders Advantage, a six-month program enrolling now for January 2027 start that helps participants develop practical skills for managing themselves and leading others.
Become the kind of leader others want to follow.1 attendeeHow to Strategize and Execute Your Job Search with AI in One Hour
