What are Silicon Valley leading technology leaders of tomorrow doing during a pandemic? We are building.

We recognize that it is our time, and we are limitless with our reach. We have used our obstacles as means to draw closer. We have all had to pivot the way we do business and connect with one another.

Especially, in the wake of civil protest and opposition between civilians and law makers and enforcers. But here we are, proving our ability to remain strong and united in our difference and strengths.

“SV-NED inc. a leader in Silicon Valley in bridging connections between different parts of the world living up to our mission and mantra, continue to align powerful forces from around the world to tell our story and talk about our triumphs and lessons as we navigate through the valley of dreams. The Silicon Valley venture community that is.
