I highly recommend TOTAL ACCESS. It provides entrepreneurs business, tactical and legal education through complimentary breakfast panels and lunch seminars. Presented by experienced industry CEOs, venture capitalists and Orrick lawyers, TOTAL ACCESS offers insights on cutting-edge issues and an opportunity to network with leading professionals in Silicon Valley.
Hosted by Orrick at its Silicon Valley and San Francisco offices, TOTAL ACCESS events are available exclusively to entrepreneurs, start-up company executives and the investment community.
FountainBlue’s High Tech Entrepreneurs’ Forum is a great resource for founders. If you’re starting up a company, getting involved with them may prove helpful.
They offer a number of valuable services, including high tech forums the second or third Mondays of the month from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m. Unfortunately, if you’re not in Silicon Valley, I don’t think you can attend. As far as I know, they haven’t expanded yet beyond the Bay Area.
