Our Mission

Alley to the Valley (A2V) is a network that actively facilitates advancement among highly accomplished women.   Utilizing A2V's deal-making methodology, women are empowered to move each other, themselves and their organizations to achieve next-level goals, such as:


  1. Raising or deploying capital; 
  2. Securing a strategic partner or trusted business advisor; 
  3. Implementing an exit strategy; 
  4. Obtaining a corporate board seat; 
  5. Accessing client/ business development connections;  and
  6. Securing a literary or speaking agent, etc. 


How A2V Works: Step 1

Attend an In-Person Summit

Attending an A2V summit, you will be in the company of up to 50 other accomplished women - a highly-curated group with an intimate setting.


You will begin the day be presenting your ask in one-minute (in addition to stating your name, work affiliation and location). 


  • Following your ask, the group will ask three questions. The group's three follow-up questions should focus on HOW they can help you—not what you're trying to explain.


EXAMPLES OF ASKS:

✅ "I am raising $10M Series A for my women's AI healthcare startup focused on menopause solutions. With $2M ARR proven, I need warm introductions to VC partners at X,Y,Z ."


✅  "I'm pursuing my second public board seat at a $1B+ revenue public tech or AI company—ideally pre-IPO. Target companies include X, Y, Z where my expertise drives immediate value."


✅  "I am a CPA and looking for my next CFO role at an AI company, such as ____."
