Our Affiliates
With our advantageous location in Silicon Valley, we want to capitalize on University
strengths, local business networks, and entrepreneurial expertise to support and motivate
the 91ÁÔÆæ startup community and grow a culture around innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
We are seeking support from Industry and Strategic Affiliates that share our core
values including leadership, relevance, engagement, collaboration and creating a high
quality of life.
Industry Affiliates
The San José State Community offers a highly talented group of entrepreneurs with
education and interests spanning a wide range of subject matter. Through our Affiliates
Program, Industry partners are able to engage early with our IDC teams and have the
opportunity to match their expertise with our highly-motivated startup companies.
By engaging deeply with these startups, Industry Affiliates get an early look into
emerging innovation. It is also an excellent opportunity to give back and provide
guidance and mentorship to innovative founders. Many of our companies are started
by first-time founders that could benefit greatly from the experience and support
of seasoned entrepreneurs.
Strategic Affiliates
Located in Silicon Valley with deep ties throughout the region, through our Strategic Affiliates program, we offer incubators, accelerators, and universities around the world the opportunity to create an Affiliate relationship with their best and brightest startup talent.
