ABOUT / SILICON VALLEY INSIDER
Silicon Valley Insider is a tech media company in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founder Keith Koo hosts the radio show on 1220 AM KDOW and 860 AM KTRB, also out as a podcast. Producer and host Henry Finn leads conference video. Interviews are editorial, and guests never pay to appear.
WHAT SILICON VALLEY INSIDER DOES
Each line is a service the desk already publishes. The outcome sits next to the work.
Silicon Valley Insider® airs on 1220 AM KDOW on Tuesdays at 6 PM PT and on 860 AM KTRB on Saturdays at 10 AM PT. Episodes also publish as a podcast so the same conversations stay available after broadcast.
Founders and institutional leaders hear the decision in the guest’s own words, not a recap written around them.
Keith delivers keynotes, firesides, panel moderation, and half-day program blocks for boards and operating teams. Signature themes cover governance, enterprise AI ownership, and post-acquisition integration.
The room leaves with a method for assigning ownership and examining evidence, not a generic keynote.
Conference organizers hire Keith as a master of ceremonies, a single-event producer, or a recurring program host. The hire page holds the Maybach Foundation luncheon at Pebble Beach as public proof.
The floor gets a host who already works on-record and can hold a room to the question in front of it.
Each researched 2026 conference has its own page: official dates, city, organizer, and the interviews booked from that floor. AI Infra Summit leads. The AI Conference is next.
Outreach starts from coverage already on the site. Official speakers on organizer sites are not invented as desk guests.
Sponsors buy named placement on episodes and seasons. Guest selection, questions, and editorial conclusions stay with the host. Locked list prices live on the partnerships page.
Partners get identifiable support without buying the interview.
WHAT MAKES SILICON VALLEY INSIDER DIFFERENT
These are facts already on this site. Competitors are not named here because this page does not invent a comparison set.
Keith is Vice President at US Capital, an international investment bank. Leadership roles at Cisco, HP, and MUFG, including MUFG’s Third Party Risk Management program, inform the questions he asks about decision rights, vendors, and integration.
Speaking, hosting, and sponsorship use locked list prices and SKUs on their own pages. A signed statement of work holds the date. This page does not invent a quote.
Paid support is identified as paid support. Category exclusivity is a paid feature. Guest selection and conclusions stay with the host.
Booked floor interviews publish from official rosters. Outreach lists stay off the public pages. Names that are not booked are not invented here.
The events hub holds researched 2026 floors so organizers can see coverage before a conversation starts. Social feeds on those pages remain holds until they publish.
