The CEO Strategy Forum is an exclusive community of CEOs from technology and life sciences companies focused solely on developing and sharing strategies for growth and success. Together, members explore effective, actionable answers to the core challenges their companies face in going from market introduction to market leadership positions.

The Forum focuses on entrepreneurial ventures from post-initial funding through the life-cycle to exit, whether via public offering or acquisition. Our members are typically CEOs of emerging growth companies that have received initial funding, have established a customer base, and have hired core staff. Venture investors with significant experience working with emerging ventures and long practicing board members may also be considered for membership if their participation will benefit the goals of the Forum.

The Forum creates value for members through its programs, which provide unique opportunities for members to share the insight and experience of a high caliber group of peers and leverage the experience of seasoned CEOs in a private setting. Signature events take the form of monthly breakfast meetings comprising a presentation by a carefully selected industry thought leader or successful entrepreneur and a roundtable discussion on a key issue with industry peers.

The exclusive member organization was founded by Blue Mine Group, a San Diego firm that specializes in taking innovation to market. Since being transferred to CONNECT in January 2007, the CEO Strategy Forum has played an important role in CONNECT’s mission to link entrepreneurs with the resources they need for success.

In order to preserve the value and relevance of the Forum community, annual membership to the CEO Strategy Forum is by invitation only.
