Advisory · For institutionsAccess Silicon Valley™

Build your own
Silicon Valley program.

Most institutions do not need us to run the program forever. They need someone who has run one to tell them how it is built, what it costs, and which doors actually open.

Why this exists

The hard part was never the flights. It is the access and the design.

A travel agency can move thirty people to San Francisco. What fails is the middle: which companies will host a delegation like yours, what a visit has to contain to be worth the airfare, and what the whole thing costs before anyone commits. That is the part we do.

Three ways to engage

Decide, design,
or ship it with us.

Every engagement is scoped on the first call and quoted in writing. No package here is priced on this page, because the cost follows the size and the season.

01 · Program design sprint

Two to three weeks

You know you want a Silicon Valley program. This turns that into a document your committee can approve.

Objectives, audience, and the outcome the program has to produce
Week-by-week agenda with the company and speaker mix mapped to it
Cost model per participant, with the tradeoffs made explicit
The five-step visit method applied to your subject matter

02 · Feasibility assessment

Two weeks

Before you commit budget, an honest read on whether this works at your size, season, and price point.

What your cohort size and window actually make possible here
Access reality check: who will meet a delegation like yours, and who will not
Cost floor, and the price a participant has to pay for it to run
A go, adjust, or do-not-run recommendation in writing

03 · Retained advisory

Through your first cycle

You run the program. We stay on it until the first cohort has come and gone and the second one is designed.

Introductions to the operators and venues we already work with
On-the-ground escalation during delivery week
Post-cycle review, and the changes that go into the next one

The method

Five steps that turn
a visit into a result.

This is the piece institutions copy when they build their own program, and the reason a delegation comes home with more than photographs. Every company touchpoint we run goes through it.

Pre-brief

The cohort arrives knowing the company, the market, and the two questions worth asking.

Site visit

Inside the building, on their terms, with a scope agreed in advance.

Practitioner Q&A

Someone who does the work, not a communications lead reading a deck.

Debrief

Straight after, while it is fresh: what was signal, what was theatre.

Applied takeaway

The cohort produces something. A visit that ends at the door was a tour.

Who this is for

If you are the one
who has to defend it.

Universities standing up a summer or semester program in the Bay Area
Ministries and agencies sending delegations that need to come back with something
Corporate academies building an internal innovation immersion
Program operators who need Bay Area access they do not have

If your program is already designed and you just need it delivered, that is a custom program rather than advisory, and it is a shorter conversation.
