/ About this event

Funder & Founder Spikeball Slam 🏖️🔥

Welcome to LA Tech Week’s official (and unofficial) highest-energy networking event. We’re swapping out pitch decks and dry coffee chats for sand, sun, and ruthless 360-degree roundnet action.

Whether you're a pre-seed founder with a wicked serve, a partner looking to fund the next unicorn, or just someone who claims they "used to play in college," come throw down. Expect solid vibes, competitive rallies, cold drinks, and zero slide decks permitted on the sand. A post-spikeball swim in the ocean will be expected.

When: Tuesday Morning Early (8:30am-10:00)

Where: Santa Monica Beach (Near Sorrento Beach and Lot 8 — look for the spikeball nets and neon flags)

Who: Founders, VCs, Angel Investors, & Operators

Vibe: Bring your B-game, your A-game, or just come hang out with a drink.

What We’re Providing -Spikeball nets & balls -Ice-cold drinks & brekkie burritos -Bragging rights for the top-performing founder/funder team

What to Bring -Sunscreen & sunglasses -Beach towel or chair -Your favorite founder or VC double's partner (or come solo and we’ll match you up!)

This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
