The Neon White, Codi Tech, Zendevr
Tired of the same old pitch events? So are we. That’s why we’re bringing something new to LA Tech Week.
In Good Company: Pitch-A-Founder is a novel networking event that transforms traditional business pitching by focusing on the human story behind the entrepreneur rather than the business metrics. Inspired by the viral "Pitch-A-Friend" dating format, this event creates an intimate yet dynamic environment where the character, values, and journey of founders take center stage.
Here’s how it works: Throughout the night, we’ll host two sessions featuring three dynamic speakers each. But instead of pitching their own startup, each speaker has 3–5 minutes (with a PowerPoint deck) to pitch a founder—a peer they admire, a friend, a family member—focusing on their story, their character, and what makes them someone worth backing.
The result? An engaging, high-energy evening that goes beyond features and benefits and highlights the human side of entrepreneurship. By centering on the person behind the company, we give everyone an even more compelling reason to believe in their venture.
We have a couple more spots left for nominees, submit your application here: https://lafsc.club/la-tech-week-lafsc.
Come for the bar, stay for the stories, and leave ready to be in good company.

Marketing with Mari, Dreamers & Doers
Meet female founders for the “most energizing way to network.”
This is a casual format where you’ll connect with at least 5+ extraordinary women founders—either 1x1 or in small, intimate groups—for meaningful conversations.
Think: less stiff small talk, more “wow, we just became friends in 10 minutes.”
💫 Your host: Mari Milenkovic is a powerhouse connector, Dreamers & Doers member, and the founder of With Mari, a marketing consultancy that helps brands stand out with heart and strategy. She’s known for hosting gatherings that leave people feeling inspired, seen, and ready to take action.
🤝This event is created in partnership with Dreamers & Doers, a curated community and PR Hype Machine™ designed to amplify extraordinary women entrepreneurs and leaders.
This format is a D&D classic, typically hosted online, but Mari is bringing it IRL for LA Tech Week!
💌 Here’s what other founders have said about past Speed Connections:
“Holy cow, that was the best ‘networking’ I’ve ever done!”
“This was amazing! I needed this so much.”
“So, so much fun. What a great mood enhancer.”
🌟 What might happen for you at this special event? We’ve seen attendees walk away with:
A new client or customer (sometimes the dream client)
Their next business partner or team member
An unexpected collaboration that changes everything
An introduction to someone who can open a big door
A friendship that becomes the highlight of their founder journey
…and countless “we should totally work together” moments ✨
📆 How it works:
Through a facilitated experience (starting promptly at 6:30pm), Mari will personally match you with fellow attendees and gift you thoughtful conversation starters—like “What’s a dream or idea you haven’t spoken out loud yet?”—to get the magic flowing.
🎟This is an intentionally curated gathering
Between friends of Mari, Dreamers & Doers, and LA Tech Week, it will be an exceptional crew of women.
❗To ensure we get an accurate count for the space, please RSVP only if you’re certain you’ll be able to attend.
If you’re a Dreamers & Doers member, your $29 ticket fee is covered at no cost to you.
Come with an open heart, a curious mind, and get ready for magic!

The Future of Pickleball - An LA Tech Week Roundtable

You know that parable about asking five blind guys what an elephant looks like? It depended on what part of the beast they were touching—such as the elephant’s trunk, ear, leg, tail or hairy belly—individually not an accurate description. But collectively, it’s instructive.
What’s the Pickleball business look like in SoCal? It depends on your vantage point:
• Tech Innovators
• Club Owners
• Tournament Directors
• Coaches
• Investors
• Merchandisers
• Influencers
All have different perspectives. No one of them accurately describes the Pickleball ‘elephant’.
That’s why DinkSmart is hosting an industry round table to invite the lens of technology into the room as a problem-solving tool as we share insights and perspectives.
You’re invited to a two-hour Pickleball symposium to share your point of view about the Pickleball Industry's present & future. Across all lanes, verticals, business models and areas of expertise. No main speakers, gurus, self-anointed mavens. Your voice as part of a select group of PB business leaders is what we want to hear.

Building Bridges for women investors #LATechWeek 2025 —a powerful convening that amplifies the voices and strategies of women of color investors.
Building on the momentum from last year’s historic gathering, where we hosted California State Controller Malia M. Cohen as keynote speaker, this year we turn our focus to actionable solutions in a moment of heightened challenges.
Women investors continue to face systemic barriers in raising and deploying capital. This year’s brunch will spotlight innovative pathways for capital access—including philanthropy, donor-advised funds, and alternative investment vehicles—designed to meet the urgency of now.
This is more than a brunch—it’s a catalyst for deal-making, coalition-building, and collective strategy. Together, we’ll explore how we can turn obstacles into opportunities and continue shaping a more equitable venture ecosystem designed by and for women. This is an event designed by and for women investors.

Cars, Coffee & Vertical Software
An LA Tech Week gathering in Long Beach
Join us for a relaxed morning with founders, operators, and investors building the next generation of vertical software. Set in the heart of Long Beach, this meetup is designed to bring together the local startup community for thoughtful conversations—over good coffee and an informal setting.
We’ll gather early, enjoy some cars on display (for those who want to roll in with something special), and connect around the shared experience of building software that serves real industries—whether it's construction, logistics, manufacturing, or mobility.
This isn’t a panel or a pitch event—just a space to meet others working in and around vertical SaaS, swap lessons, and strengthen the Long Beach tech ecosystem.
Who should attend:
✅ Founders building vertical or industry-specific software
✅ Operators scaling SaaS products in applied domains
✅ Investors focused on early-stage software companies
✅ Local tech talent interested in joining vertical SaaS startups
Whether you're new to Long Beach or have been quietly building here for years, we’d love to meet you.

America's innovation landscape is quite much shaped by European innovators, professionals and experts in their fields. We come to the U.S. to try, build, break, and repeat.
During LA Tech Week, let's come together the European way for an active morning in Runyon Canyon to share our success stories and experiences with our peers and see how we can help each other.
The event will not be moderated. At the end of the hike, after we've had a chance to chat with each other, we'll all meet up at a neighborhood café for coffee or smoothies and share stories in an open mic setting.
Come stretch, meet new people, and hear stories from European peers.
If you would like to share your story in front of everyone during the after-hike coffee, please email a brief introduction and description of your story to info@xyzcombinator.com.
