Question 1

What does a Silicon Valley immersion for cooperatives include?

Accepted Answer

We start by mapping your cooperative's specific challenges: AI adoption, member platform modernization, governance innovation, or tech partnerships. That diagnosis drives everything. We then build a schedule of private sessions with founders, researchers, and operators who match your agenda. Executive programs run 1-5 days for leadership teams, and group immersions run 3-5 days for delegations of 15-30.

Question 2

How is this different from a generic Silicon Valley tour?

Accepted Answer

Generic tours sell fixed itineraries with campus visits and keynote panels. We start with your business. Before any program, we diagnose your strategic questions and build an agenda where every meeting connects to a real decision you're facing. You leave with partnerships, pilots, and a clear action plan.

Question 3

What results have cooperative leaders seen?

Accepted Answer

A group of 30 credit union leaders from Brazil identified new AI capabilities inside their existing CRM, benchmarked new approaches to member experience, and revised their technology roadmap, without adding a single new vendor. Results depend on your goals, but every program includes a synthesis report and 30-day follow-up on every connection.

Question 4

Can we bring a large delegation from our cooperative system?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Executive programs work best with 2-10 leaders who share a strategic agenda. Group immersions accommodate 15-30 participants and are popular with cooperative systems that want board members, executives, and innovation leads in the same room. We've run single-cohort programs for 30 people. Session depth, breakout structure, and facilitation style all adjust to group size and seniority mix.

Question 5

What kind of follow-up do you provide after the program?

Accepted Answer

Within two weeks, you receive a synthesis report covering key takeaways, strategic recommendations, and action items from every session. For the next 30 days, we actively follow up on every connection made, helping move conversations toward partnerships, pilots, or vendor evaluations. For cooperative groups, we also help coordinate internal alignment so the delegation leaves with a shared action plan, not just individual notes.

Question 6

What does Tupii handle on the ground vs. what do we arrange?

Accepted Answer

We handle all Bay Area logistics: session venues, transportation between meetings, meals, and on-site coordination for your entire group. You arrange flights and accommodation. We're happy to recommend hotels near session locations, and for larger delegations we can suggest group booking options.
