About VLAB Sponsorship
Silicon Valley continues to be world’s pre-eminent technology hub and venture incubator. This is due in large part to the vast infrastructure of new venture support services and products that reside here. This infrastructure is the result of many technology startups that have since grown to become large, successful technology companies.
VLAB sponsors are selected from among this pool of established, successful technology companies and are recognized leaders in their respective fields. Most importantly, VLAB sponsors are dedicated to supporting and promoting high-tech entrepreneurship.
The participation and contributions of our sponsors are critical to VLAB’s continued success. Without the volunteer support and generous cash and in-kind annual donations by VLAB sponsors, ongoing programming efforts would not be possible. As appropriate, our sponsors also assist in identifying panelists, moderators, sponsors, and presenting companies for ongoing forums.

In order to maximize exposure at our forums, the VLAB executive board encourages sponsors to attend our events and invites them to get involved and volunteer their services as committee members, panelists, moderators, and speakers whenever possible and practical. While VLAB selects people for these roles on the basis of individual merit and specific programming requirements (such as expertise or experience), to obtain maximum objectivity of each program or event, VLAB retains exclusive control over these selections.
