I help to organize Hackers & Founders which is the largest group of entry-level startups in Silicon Valley, according to StartupDigest. We also have chapters in 8 other cities.

In addition to mixers, we provide educational opportunities, introductions to investors and a brand new incubator called The Co-op.

The purpose of The Co-op is to help companies "self-incubate" while Hackers & Founders provides access to mentors and advisers. We hope to scale this model so that our other chapters can take advantage of it.
