Strategic Alliance Partners
Partnership with purpose.
Strategic Alliance Partners are not simply sponsors. They bring expertise, resources and experiences that create real value for entrepreneurs across the US West, and earn trusted access to a community that values quality over quantity.
Built by founders
The community you join.
Founded in 1987, EO is a global not-for-profit community where founders and owners connect, learn and grow together. US West Bridge is its regional chapter for the US West.
What partners build
Three things a partnership is for.
- 01
Trusted positioning
Align with EO's reputation and a chapter of founders who have already built $1M+ companies.
- 02
Meaningful engagement
Create value through education. Forum presentations, learning events and retreat experiences, not ad placements.
- 03
Regional and global reach
One regional chapter, connected to 226 chapters in 66 countries. What starts in the US West travels.

Questions
The short answers.
- What is a Strategic Alliance Partner?
- A vetted business or professional who supports EO US West Bridge through sponsorship.
- Who is a fit?
- Firms whose work matters to founders running growing companies: capital, finance and accounting, legal, talent, operations, marketing, wealth and exit planning, and the experiences that make a retreat memorable. We keep the roster small and avoid category overlap where we can.
- How do partners engage with members?
- Through education first. Partners can be scheduled to present to a forum, host a virtual learning event, sponsor a retreat experience, and appear in chapter communications. Members meet partners as subject-matter experts, which is why the relationships last.
- How do we get started?
- Complete the inquiry form below. Sia Bani, our Strategic Alliance Partnership Chair, follows up personally to talk about your goals, what you could bring to members, and which program fits. Then we put it in writing.
