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 (and coaching) to each member!

Alley to the Valley is transitioning to an exclusive, highly engaged community limited to 200 members:  100 women from the US + 100 women from Europe. 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 200 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.
