Why we are here
Executives at established companies are often isolated in their day to day.
Entrepreneurs have difficulty meeting these executives.
We create the opportunity for them to meet and build relationships to potentially work together.
Curated Executive Mixers
In just a few hours, you can meet many other executives like minded who otherwise would have been difficult to meet.
Because most of the people are local, you can meet them the following day or week for a follow up.
Thought Leadership Series
Thought Provoking Presentations on Latest Trends
We invite analysts and executives to share their knowledge on what is shaping our market and what is coming.
Interactive Panel Discussions

All Business
Payments, Commerce and Fintech Demo Days

Startup Mentoring, Training and Introductions
Because of the deep experience of many of our members, startups can get a better support within our network.
Live Streaming of Events
We all have busy lives in this industry so attending an event is often not an option. Our live streamed events give the opportunity to learn but also to interact with our panelist or presenters.

A Global Network
Started at Stanford in 2005 in Silicon Valley as a meet up, we created a global community with the realization that
Innovation wasn't restricted to the SF Bay Area.
We opened chapters in Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, London, Paris, and other cities
with the support of executives volunteering to be closer to their local community.
