About OPEN Silicon Valley
Vision
We strive to foster entrepreneurship and accelerate business development through holding workshops and forums where entrepreneurs and investors have a platform to network and share business ideas around the world through our cross-chapter programs. This influences large partnerships which thrive through mutual benefits and increase the overall success of business. This organic growth in businesses, investment and entrepreneurship strengthens the belief in the brand of Pakistan.
Mission
Our mission is to promote entrepreneurship, professional growth and business development by connecting the professional community in Silicon Valley. We organize various programs such as workshops which teach professionals various skills in the business world, forums where key speakers from the community showcase the newest trends, and events that provide a platform for entrepreneurs to share ideas.
Objective
Our key goals focus on helping our members either achieve their own business goals or overcome tough obstacles they are facing as entrepreneurs. We facilitate and encourage entrepreneurship, promote and create growth opportunities within the greater community, provide mentor ship to enterprising individuals and develop ongoing events. This is done through a variety of programs designed to challenge, empower, create networking opportunities and recognize the accomplishments of entrepreneurs and professionals.

Upcoming Events
OPEN Silicon Valley (OPEN SV) is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship and professional development.
We engage through a wide variety of programs including workshops, mentorship, forums, and other networking events. We enable entrepreneurs and professionals to share ideas, gain valuable feedback and tangible support from the charter members and OPEN SV events.
A key objective of OPEN SV is to bridge the gap between Pakistan’s start-up ecosystem and Silicon Valley and to foster innovation and growth in that sector. I want to take a moment to thank our charter members for their incredible support in making OPEN SV, Silicon Valley’s most impactful organization.
We are also truly blessed to have a great team of volunteers from Silicon Valley and across the globe who set us up for success. Their devotion, dedication, and commitment to the organization and its programs help us achieve the many milestones we set every year and their successful execution. You make us all proud.
We look forward to hearing from you. Whether you wish to volunteer or are looking to connect, engage and learn, our doors are always OPEN.
- Andaleeb Ahmed, President, OPEN Silicon Valley
