The Shortest Distance from Idea to Market

How do we do it? How is it that we can start a company in a nanosecond, prototype a product in a microsecond and take the company public an instant later?

Maybe we can’t move quite that quickly, but the fact is, we have developed a way of doing business that is exceptionally efficient and highly competitive in the global economy.

On these pages we provide you with access to the Silicon Valley way of doing business:

  • Business associations and networks
  • Workforce development resources
  • Site location services
  • Venture capitalists
  • Business incubators
  • How-to guides for starting a business

We also provide a page dedicated to helping site selection professionals get the information they need to help their clients evaluate Silicon Valley for starting and expanding.

At the left, there is an electronic site requirements worksheet to help you contact economic development professionals about your location needs. Our city and county economic development managers will provide you with cost estimates for facilities and utilities, connections to commercial real estate brokers, tips on working with the planning and permitting departments, and advice on schools and homes.

The cities and counties of Silicon Valley work together to find you the best solution. If one city does not have a suitable site for you, they will contact colleagues to try to find a better match.
