EO San Francisco: Entrepreneur's Organization
Empowering Founders with the Community & Resources to Thrive
Take your leadership, business, and life to the next level. Discover the power of shared experiences, world-class resources, and a network of over 100 entrepreneurs in the Bay Area and 18,000 around the globe.
Who We Are & What We Do
If you’re an entrepreneur, a founder, or a CEO, then you know what it feels like to be on your own. We seldom have peers within our organizations, and we do not always have the opportunity to share with colleagues about the joys, triumphs, and sorrows that come along with the role of “leader.”
EO San Francisco (EO SF) is the Bay Area chapter of Entrepreneurs’ Organization, the world’s largest entrepreneur founder and CEO network. We exist for founders, co‑founders, and majority owners who have already built $1M+ businesses and are ready to take their businesses and themselves to the next level. Unlike generic networking groups, EO SF gives you a confidential board of advisors—6–10 non‑competing CEOs—so you can process issues you can’t discuss anywhere else. Unlike other CEO groups, there’s no advice giving in EO. Instead, people share their experiences dealing with the same issues along with a candid assessment of how their own choices turned out. You’ll share wins and challenges, learn from other leaders’ experience what you are, and leave each meeting with clarity that isn’t possible to achieve on your own.
We’re more than a forum. Our members access elite education through programs at Harvard, MIT, and Stanford; exclusive learning events in the Bay Area; and global conferences that attract over 1,000 entrepreneurs. We connect you to 20,000 vetted business owners across 220 chapters worldwide. Whether you need a CFO at 2 AM or a distributor in Berlin, someone in EO has been there.
At its core, EO is a collection of like-minded entrepreneurs focused on business growth, personal development, and community engagement.
Since 1987, EO has been transforming the lives of entrepreneurs. EO plays an integral role in business, industries, and the lives of leading entrepreneurs everywhere.
Gain access to a wide variety of tailor-made benefits designed to help you grow your business and become a better leader. You’ve made it this far as a business owner—let EO take you to the next level!
