The future of innovation is not just Silicon Valley. It’s global.
I’m Joanne Fedeyko, founder of Connection Silicon Valley and convener of Building Bridges, a curated global network connecting accelerators, universities, economic development agencies, and investors to Silicon Valley. A 25-year Silicon Valley insider, international speaker, and ecosystem strategist, I help ecosystems and the founders they serve build the relationships that open new markets.
With over 25 years in Silicon Valley and 10+ years bridging startups and executives with the heart of tech innovation, I invite you to join my events and support early stage startups and underserved founders.
I am passionate about democratizing access to help entrepreneurs succeed faster. This means eliminating hurdles to resources, particularly for women, minority founders, and underserved communities and redefining how we approach capital, networks, and knowledge.
Executive to Entrepreneur
My journey is fueled by a deep passion for connecting people with authenticity and purpose, creating opportunities without an agenda.
Today, my mission is to deliver Silicon Valley's networks, resources, and culture of innovation to empower founders globally.
I believe connections are transformative but take time to cultivate. I frequently speak on building networks, fundraising in the Valley, women in tech, and crafting a compelling brand and digital presence.
Over 500 startups have benefited from my deep and extensive network of investors, operators and influencers.
Reaching out and making connections energises me! People fascinate me. I seek out their stories and find new ways to share their impact with the world.
Who can I connect you to?
Making connections is my superpower.
“Connections are powerful. But they don’t happen overnight. Build your network long before you are ever going to need it.”
