Breaking Into Silicon Valley - with Danielle Steer
You don't have to live in Silicon Valley to learn how it works.
Tundra Trails virtual events bring VC insider knowledge to founders everywhere, especially the ones building outside the major startup hubs. Real talk, live questions, no gatekeeping. Just pull up a chair from wherever you are.
This session: Breaking Into Silicon Valley, with Tundra GP Danielle Steer.
If you're building outside the Bay Area, Silicon Valley can feel like a room you weren't invited to. It isn't, but getting in takes more than a great company. It takes relationships, timing, and understanding how social capital actually moves here.
Danielle Steer has spent her career helping founders build exactly that kind of network from anywhere. In this conversation she'll get specific: how founders outside the major hubs get on investors' radar, build real relationships before they need them, and earn their way into the rooms that matter. Come with your questions.
