Participating in Trek provided me with unique insights from a diverse group of entrepreneurs, investors, and executives, in the company of my peers. The itinerary is best-described as a masterclass in entrepreneurship & innovation - it’s well-thought-out, balanced, and substantive.

Pillar Topics

01

Funders & Founders

Explore the venture capital industry: from the rise of Sand Hill Road to incubators and accelerators, equity crowdfunding platforms, and different models of venture capital. Hear from individuals who are at the forefront of the venture capital industry as investors, technologists, and entrepreneurs.

02

The Future of Technology

True innovation is about finding new and better ways to solve tough, real-world problems that span industries - from agriculture to chemical manufacturing and healthcare. Visit dynamic companies unlocking the power of technology to solve these problems with their customers.

03

Diversity & Inclusion

Although we've come a long way, the lack of workforce diversity and unconscious bias is still a systemic problem in Silicon Valley. Meet with women advocates and leaders and learn about their approaches to tackling diversity in Tech.

 

04

From Holland to the Valley

The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most culturally diverse regions in the country; 60% of successful tech companies in the US were founded by 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. Meet with professionals who upended their lives and ventured out West.
