Apply for Alley to the Valley Membership

To celebrate our 15 years of Alley to the Valley (A2V), we are redefining our membership to bring even more value to our members...Our ask + offer methodology has driven over $1B in transactions + new business for our members since 2010, and we plan to drive even more deals…now with a concierge service to fulfill your asks!

Alley to the Valley is transitioning to an exclusive, highly engaged community limited to 100 members. Membership requires either an invitation or an application with a recommendation from a current member.

Members are selected strategically to maintain A2V's secret sauce: cross-pollination across industries and geographies. Our 100 members—angel investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, corporate executives, service providers, literary and speaking agents, etc—are expected to actively generate business and create opportunities for and from one another.

MEMBER-EXCLUSIVE BENEFITS

• Unlimited Summit Attendance – Attend as many summits (up to 50 women) as you wish throughout the year across. We host a minimum of four summits annually in Silicon Valley/San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and Boston. Potential additional cities include, but not limited to, Austin, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Diego, and Miami—will be added as we recruit strong members to lead A2V events in their regions.

• High-Touch Matchmaking – A2V leadership personally tracks your asks + proactively facilitates strategic introductions to members who can advance your goals. We connect you to investors, advisors, board opportunities, and strategic partners from our vast network.

• Private Google Group – Access to our members-only digital platform where you can post asks and offers between summits. All introductions, deals, and transactions are tracked, creating accountability and celebrating member wins in real-time.

We strive to maintain a balance among industries, roles and geographic location (US + Europe) to maximize our reach.
