Silicon Valley Access. Worldwide Reach.

Most founders don't fail because of bad ideas.They fail from lack of access to influence networks and capital. They fail from lack of education about how Silicon Valley style venture capital works. They fail because nobody knows their startups exist.

The Startup Council is Here to Help.

Our worldwide community helps Members publicize their startups to venture capital and angel investors, service providers, community resources, and new customers. We do this by providing global directories, newsletters, events, and super low cost content marketing services. We're dedicated to improving founder access to winning startup strategies, insider networks, and best practices for growth and fundraising of new innovation businesses.
