ALLEY TO THE VALLEY

Alley to the Valley is a community of the world’s most influential women in venture, entrepreneurship, business, politics, and media. Our primary focus is to see the world’s leading female talent network through the following venues: 1) Alley to the Valley® Summits – bringing together fifty female powerbrokers in venture capital, entrepreneurship, finance, government, law, academia, media, non-profit, healthcare, and other industry-leading women who want more. Summit events are designed w... ith one sole purpose…to bring attendees’ businesses to the next level; and 2) The Alley to the Valley® online community builds upon these relationships and fosters increased networking, mentoring boot camps, “how-to” videos, and more in a members-only environment. At our inaugural summit in Silicon Valley on November 12, 2010, fifty of the most recognizable women from the east and west coast came together under one roof to discuss entrepreneurial success stories, challenges, needs, and next steps. We discussed how we could benefit each other by networking with other like-minded women, how investors could help mentor entrepreneurs and build the “golf course” where deals could be realized. Out of the summit – bridges were built and strengthened – and along came deal-flow and deal-making that continues on today.More
