ASVC reaches out to its community by hosting professional events designed to support entrepreneurship and innovation in Asia and Silicon Valley. Below are descriptions of our recurring events:

Gong Show: ASVC is perhaps best known for its successful series of business plan competitions. ASVC works with a committee of VCs and entrepreneurs to review numerous submissions from its community of entrepreneurs and selects approximately ten companies to participate in the Gong Show. At the Show, each company pitches a panel of top-tier VCs and an audience of approximately 200 entrepreneurs, VCs, professional service providers and media groups. In addition to providing substantive training and investment connections to our presenting companies, our Gong Shows announce to the world that the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Silicon Valley and Asia.

By tapping into its network and, as appropriate, its strategic alliance organizations, ASVC brings together influential leaders of our industry to present insightful discussions to an audience of approximately 200 of our community members. Topics for examination in 2004 included the emergence of life science industry in India and China, options for outsourcing to Asia and a critical look at Chinese IPO's on the NASDAQ market.

Venture Mentor Program: The Venture Mentor Program was created in 2006 by the advisors and past charter members of ASVC as a means of fostering entrepreneurship and volunteerism, through introducing ASVC members to business professionals from a variety of disciplines who have committed their time to help guide Entrepreneurs. The Venture Mentor Program provides entrepreneurs, with insight, advice, and professional and educational wisdom to help entrepreneurs address the key issues for the success of their new or emerging business.
