Silicon Valley Open Doors 2019 | Silicon Valley Open Doors | 15 May 2019 | Computer History Museum, 1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

We believe that impact through high-tech innovation has moved way beyond pure business goals into the domain of long-term worldwide cross-industrial social and environmental solutions.

This year, SVOD is presenting to you a set of topics and innovative companies that allows us to move towards the sustainable future with a great purpose and focus on and around the Human. Impact starts with a Human and ends with a Human.

In 2019, SVOD Conference opens its doors to 2K+ attendees, including over 800 startup founders from all over the world, over 300+ top venture capitalists, angel investors and investor judges, and over 900 professionals working in the technology area. A major part of the conference is a startup PITCH for the pre-selected and coached 40 seed and early stage (up to Series B) companies.
