/ About this event
Our fourth annual open house — with a new name, a new partner, and a lot to celebrate.
Four years ago we started as UP.Labs with a simple bet: the hardest problems inside the world's most important industrial companies are also the biggest sources of untapped value. 17 ventures later — across energy, aviation, logistics, manufacturing, and automotive — that bet is holding up.
Two things are new this year. We're now Vantora. And we've raised more than $100 million in growth investment from Silversmith Capital Partners — the first outside capital in the company's history.
Come celebrate both with us during #LATechWeek. Short program from founder and CEO John Kuolt on what's next in physical AI and the case for Sovereign AI: if the intelligence layer of your business is going to be built on your operations and your data, you should own it. You'll also meet the founders building inside our portfolio right now. Expect music, artisanal drinks, small bites, and good conversation with our community of investors, operators, builders, and partners.
RSVP to register your interest — approved guests will receive the location in advance.
This event is part of #LATechWeek, a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at tech-week.com
