Silicon Valley East Bay: The Next Chapter
Building a global giant requires a synchronized ecosystem: Capital, Colleagues, Customers, and Cities. Building on Silicon Valley's legacy of innovation, the East Bay expands the ecosystem into new domains and functions—from advanced manufacturing and agriculture to logistics and energy infrastructure.
Today, Silicon Valley East Bay (SV-EBF) is the strategic launchpad for the global economy. We are connecting the 4 Cs to help you build the next AI-powered Unicorn.
Beyond the Garage Myth
Building a Unicorn requires more than a garage; it demands a campus where engineers thrive, families grow, and innovation flourishes without burnout. Retention is key for lasting success.
SV-EBF's lifestyle retains top talent for decades, countering the "churn and burn" culture elsewhere.
Unicorns need room to expand. Companies like Workday and Veeva Systems build strong cultures in spacious HQs.
With a $573B GDP, the "Super Triangle" is a global economic titan, ranking in the Top 25 worldwide.
