Today, SVE is evolving at the frontier of Physical AI, Embodied AI, and Robotics Entrepreneurship, while continuing to support innovation in construction, real estate, PropTech, and SaaS. We are proud to partner with the Physical AI Builders community, the Future 50 Physical AI Builders Program, and the F50 Physical AI Summit to accelerate the next generation of breakthrough entrepreneurs.
From weekly pitch nights and co-founder matching events, to panels, summits, and mixers, SVE remains the beating heart of Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial spirit. Whether you’re a first-time founder, a seasoned builder, or an investor seeking the next frontier, SVE is your home to connect, innovate, and grow.
