The Silicon Valley Forum in partnership with Nixon Peabody, LLP are excited to invite you to a workshop for startup founders and entrepreneurs at Nixon Peabody's offices in downtown San Francisco.
Taking place from 11:00 am-1:15 pm, this interactive session is built for founders who want practical guidance on building, funding, and scaling their startups.
You'll gain insights across core areas like business planning, growth strategy, marketing, and fundraising—plus participate in a live discussion where we tackle real challenges from founders in the room.

Attendance is free and lunch is provided.
Whether you're leading an early-stage company or actively scaling, you will walk away with actionable ideas you can apply immediately.
