Inside Boost VC Tribe 19: Silicon Valley’s Deep Tech Founder Circle
Boost VC Tribe 19: A Week of Innovation and Connection in Silicon Valley
At SplitX, we’re not just observers of the tech revolution—we’re active participants. This commitment led us to San Mateo, California, where Boost VC, the world’s most active deep tech investor—hosts its renowned Tribe Semesters.
What is Boost VC?
Founded in 2012 by Adam Draper and Brayton Williams, Boost VC has been a catalyst for deep tech startups, leading Pre-Seed rounds with $500k checks and writing $50k Founder Start checks. With a portfolio spanning crypto, space, biotech, AI, robotics, VR, and more, Boost VC is dedicated to propelling sci-fi founders into the future.
Tribe 19 Semester: A Deep Dive into Innovation
The Tribe 19 Semester was a convergence of brilliant minds and groundbreaking ideas. Over several days, founders engaged in:
- Workshops: Hands-on sessions focusing on scaling operations, refining business models, and navigating the challenges unique to deep tech ventures.
- Keynote Speeches: Insights from industry leaders, including Adam Draper, who shared his vision on the future of technology and investment.
- Networking Events: Opportunities to forge connections, share experiences, and lay the groundwork for future collaborations.
Golf & Casual Meetups: Conversations weren’t limited to conference rooms. Some of the best discussions happened while playing golf—because in Silicon Valley, business and networking happen everywhere.
SplitX in the Heart of the Action
Our co-founders, Andrea and Armando, were immersed in the semester’s activities, contributing to discussions, supporting operational aspects, and of course, playing golf alongside the Boost VC team and fellow founders. It was the perfect balance of high-impact learning and laid-back networking, creating an environment where real connections were made.
