VLAB brings together entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts, innovators, and curious minds to explore ideas and technologies that have the potential to disrupt entire industries, create business opportunities, and shape the future.

Founded in 1990 by the MIT Enterprise Forum and the Alumni Association of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, VLAB has hosted a broad range of events that have inspired and informed an extended community of over 20,000 influencers.

The caliber of presenting companies and panelists at our events has earned VLAB the reputation as one of the premier high-tech forums in Silicon Valley.

Many of the startups in past VLAB events have gone on to become household names, not just in Silicon Valley but around the globe. Our events also provide opportunities for top VCs to weigh in on the conversation.

Supporting new ideas & entrepreneurs for 30 years

Over the past 30 years, VLAB has contributed immensely to Silicon Valley's entrepreneurship environment.  Our events highlight emerging disruptions in technology and business, and are a path of discovery for those starting new companies, careers or investments -- or just the curious who want to be inspired and learn.   Many have started new jobs or started companies because of our events. We are an extremely lean all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit and we want to ask you for your or your firm's support so we can continue to support our volunteer teams and host 3-5 marquee events in 2025.  This year we'd also like to be able to put our 30 years of highly-noteworthy archival videos of Silicon Valley's history online.    Please make your donation now!  Even $20 helps out to keep VLAB going! We also need sponsors for our 2025 programs -- these can be either donations for marketing recognition, or sponsored venues or food/wine services to host our monthly planning meetings ,Founder Series events, and our topic-specific marquee events.  If you, your firm, or a firm you know would be interested in making a tax-deductible sponsorship donation of $1k or more, please write us at sponsorship@vlab.org -- or make it now, and we'll recognize you!
