I’ve never experienced such a high level of knowledge sharing as I did during the Silicon Valley Innovation & Leadership Tour. The insights from Berkeley professors, entrepreneurs, scaleups, and investors were invaluable.

The combination of learning, social activities, and commitment from everyone involved was truly impactful, and I’ve already applied much of what I learned to my career and business goals.

I’m deeply grateful to the team who organized this tour and highly recommend it to current and future leaders.
