About Us
Silicon Valley Pop-Up is a journey that began in July 2021, born from the shared vision of two old friends who saw an opportunity to bring their community closer together through the magic of pop-up events. Lauren and her friend, both initially starting as vendors at various events, decided to create something extraordinary.
What started as a modest venture with just 20 vendors has flourished into something truly remarkable. Today, Silicon Valley Pop-Up stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, community, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
Fast forward to the present day, and the driving force behind SVPU has been elevated even further with the addition of Thomas as a new partner. With his dynamic energy and fresh perspective, we've expanded our horizons, setting new milestones and achieving incredible feats.
We've proudly hosted over 30 events, including our signature gatherings and collaborations like the Vendor Village at Music in the Park in 2022, and the Block Party with Urban Vibrancy Institute in 2023. Our journey has been one of growth, creativity, and partnership, and we're excited to continue this incredible ride, working hand in hand with our community and fellow event hosts to create memorable experiences that bring people together.
In the summer of 2023, a thrilling partnership came to life at Silicon Valley Pop-Up. We are excited to announce that Thomas, also known as DJ Maniakal, has joined forces with us, and his creative energy is electrifying our journey. With this exciting collaboration, our community-driven platform is set to reach new heights.
Thomas brings a wealth of experience and innovation to the SVPU team. His unique perspective and passion for community engagement align perfectly with our mission. Together, we are dedicated to fostering growth, not only for our platform but for the local small businesses and vendors that call Silicon Valley home.
As we embark on this new chapter, we're reminded that we're just scratching the surface of what's possible. The future holds endless opportunities, and we can't wait to explore them with you. Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come on our Silicon Valley Pop-Up journey!
