How SV-NED rode through the pandemic.

SV-NED Inc. a minority women-led organization hailing from the technology capital of the world, San Jose, CA - Silicon Valley is showing other businesses just-how to weather the storm, and keep a thriving business open during a pandemic. For the past four years, SV-NED has continued to connect businesses and professionals from all around the world while using technology as a vessel to enhance voices and global outreach.

For the very first time, millennials founders and professionals, have a medium to connect and share ideas, even while large-scale social events have been placed on hold. SV-NED remained resilient with keeping their network informed, engaged, and inspired. 

Since March 2020 SV-NED has tackled multiple industries while introducing the new wave of technology-focused industry leaders from diverse backgrounds and giving them a platform to share their stories and inspirations. These same stories have become an inspiration to growing founders from diverse communities, who are now seeking alternative solutions to creating jobs rather than seeking one. 

SV-NED boasting an ecosystem with a following comprised of 200 million people from the Diaspora have become an international business household name while gaining popularity amongst Silicon Valley's very best community of founders and leaders. "We take extra pride and care with informing our community of the future of tech, to enable our community to be better prepared by taking on professional development courses and online certification training programs. Now, for the very first time, young learners from around the world, are using the pandemic as an opportunity to learn and gain a brand new skill or trade. 

On September 26th, SV-NED takes on a new industry by leading on Hollywood, Film, and Blockchain technology - virtually. Let’s face-it our ID is our brand going forward and with mask restrictions in social settings, we are most notable and recognizable for our digital footprints, then our actual footprints on the sand. How we present ourselves to be is a 'Blockchain of value' of ourselves and to our communities. Join SV-NED in their transformative approach to navigating their business, even during a pandemic, as they continue to host events that create conversations and celebrates future and current industry leaders.

SV-NED invites guests to learn more about Blockchain and how it is generated. SV-NED softens the conversion, as they present leaders in the Print Magazine industry as well as leaders in Documentary and Filmography and Storytellers in Film. The esteemed panel will guide attendees on  how their work has contributed to success stories in both Hollywood and the Technology Industry. SV-NED have selected speakers from leading Blockchain and Fintech industries to talk about career paths in their respective industries.

SV-NED’s goal is to direct capital outputs to encourage job creation for millions of young adults globally, who live in extreme poverty-conditions by encouraging them to see avenues of job creation and be self-starters by looking at a future of ownership. 

SV-NED continues to facilitate a pipeline for the creation of business opportunities between Africa and Silicon Valley. SV-NED has provided support abroad to recent college graduates, low-income individuals, small business owners, and founders of start-ups looking to scale. Given the rising competition of African businesses becoming technology-driven companies, SV-NED facilitates programs enabling Africans to build credibility with the Silicon Valley ecosystem and beyond.
