With our advantageous location in Silicon Valley, we want to capitalize on University
strengths, local business networks, and entrepreneurial expertise to support and motivate
the 91ÁÔÆæ startup community and grow a culture around innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
We are seeking support from Industry and Strategic Affiliates that share our core
values including leadership, diversity, inclusion, relevance, engagement, collaboration
and creating a high quality of life.
Industry Affiliates
The San José State Community offers a diverse and highly talented group of entrepreneurs
with education and interests spanning a wide range of subject matter. Through our
Affiliates Program, Industry partners are able to engage early with our IDC teams
and have the opportunity to match their expertise with our highly-motivated startup
companies. By engaging deeply with these startups, Industry Affiliates get an early
look into emerging innovation. It is also an excellent opportunity to give back and
provide guidance and mentorship to innovative founders. Many of our companies are
started by first-generation founders that could benefit greatly from the experience
and support of seasoned entrepreneurs.
Strategic Affiliates
Located in Silicon Valley with deep ties throughout the region, through our Strategic Affiliates program, we offer incubators, accelerators, and universities around the world the opportunity to create an Affiliate relationship with their best and brightest startup talent.
