Co-Founder, SVIC
Where cognitively aligned people truly meet — at the frontier of Silicon Valley. We offer curated Silicon Valley entrepreneur expeditions, and host private dinners where aligned minds come together. We are relentlessly customer-centric, protective of privacy, uncompromising on quality, and committed to delivering real value, not surface polish. This is where like-minded entrepreneurs find each other.
Most communities optimize for size. We optimize for alignment — of values, of curiosity, of the willingness to speak plainly. SVIC exists for people who'd rather have one real conversation than a hundred shallow ones.
Founders and engineers working at the edge of what's technically possible, who want peers rather than an audience.
People doing the actual technical work at the frontier, who'd rather talk shop with peers than perform for an audience.
People deploying capital and attention who need signal before it's consensus, from a room they can actually trust.
Every expedition is curated, not scaled. Quality of connection is the only metric that matters.
A consultative Silicon Valley itinerary — company visits, private dinners, and introductions built for a small group of aligned entrepreneurs.
A private itinerary built entirely around you — your industry, your questions, your pace — with the same access, dinners, and introductions.
Standing access to future expeditions, dinners, and the wider SVIC circle as it grows.
These aren't slogans. They're the filter every expedition, dinner, and member goes through.
Every decision starts with what genuinely serves the people in the room.
What's said off record stays off record. Confidentiality is assumed, not negotiated.
Small by design. We'd rather do less, better, than scale into mediocrity.
No vanity metrics. Every conversation should leave you with something real.
Every inquiry is read personally. Confidentiality is assumed.
A short, thoughtful reply within a few days — from a person, not a form.
Founders and executives who value alignment over reach.
San Francisco Bay Area, with expeditions forming in other regions.
