Influence & Inspiration: Lessons From The World's Most Competitive Stage
Hosted by the Expert DOJO Celebrity Fund, the Dream Collection, and CAMINO5.
Some brands are planned in boardrooms. Others are pressure-tested in stadiums, in the ring, and under the glare of millions; raw, real, and relentless.
This is not another tech week panel or networking event. This is an evening of real conversation with sports icons who’ve lived it under the lights, and now live it again as investors, philanthropists, and business builders.
We’re not here for small talk. We’re here to talk brand, pressure, reinvention, what it means to build legacy when the world is watching.
*Featuring:
Shaquem Griffin – Former linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks and barrier-breaker, known for redefining what’s possible on and off the field.
Chris Copeland – NBA veteran with the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, and Milwaukee Bucks now investing in the future, and mentoring the next generation as a pro coach and entrepreneur.
Doc God – World champion bodybuilder with 27 titles and the first athlete from Anguilla to win a global crown. Now a filmmaker, blockchain innovator, and founder shaping the future of digital rights.
Ultimate Fighting Bots – The world's first robot combat league where humans pilot robots in real-time from anywhere on the planet. This is competition evolved: the digital and physical merged into one high-stakes arena. See it live.
*Speaker lineup subject to change.
These aren’t just athletes.
They’re builders.
They’ve taken everything the game gave them pressure, clarity, discipline and translated it into life after the buzzer.
No stage. Just real stories, shared insights, and a rare chance to be in the room where the game behind the game gets revealed.
This is where the spotlight meets strategy.
Because today, every brand is in the arena.
But only a few are playing to win.
Admission
This room is not for everyone. Attendance is strictly limited.
Complimentary access for accredited investors by application and approval.
$97 contribution for qualified founders and guests, those bold enough to build and brave enough to learn.
Presence is earned. Not assumed.
Applications now open. Selection is limited.
A Note for Investors:
As part of this evening, we’ll invite you to consider supporting the causes and foundations led by our featured guests. Each athlete is actively building impact far beyond the field, your donation isn’t expected, but it is encouraged, and deeply appreciated.
This evening is part of #LATechWeek , a curated week of experiences hosted by VCs and startups across the LA tech ecosystem.

Startup seed and pre-seed funding through grants
Hawthorne
·
Ekvacio Venture Services
Are you fundraising for your startup or venture, but interested in holding on to your equity? If your response to the following three questions is "Yes", this event* is for you!
Are you a present or prospective co-founder or employee of a US-based startup?
Is your company considered a small business with 500 or fewer employees?
Do you have at least one of the following: (1) Initial prototype or promising data; (2) Customers or documented customer discovery/market study; (3) Initial funding from any source ?
Did you know that major companies such as Qualcomm and Amgen got started with the help of SBA (SBIR / STTR) grant funding? Grants are an excellent way to get seed- and pre-seed funding for projects deemed too risky by other investors.
To be sure: the effort seems daunting, and startups or small businesses often spend the equivalent of one full-time position or more just on writing grants, only to be rejected due to erroneous interpretation of opaque instructions, or “unwritten rules” of the agencies.
Preparation is therefore key! We will provide an overview of grant options available to startups and ventures, and how to position yourself, your startup, and your team for fundability.
We will cover:
1) SBA: Zero Equity and up to $3 Million for Standard Projects - SBIR/STTR overview across the agencies and alternatives
2) Eligibility: prerequisites for the venture and the proposal/project team
3) Example 1: National Science Foundation grants: from deep tech to AI topics and everything in between.
4) Example 2: National Institutes of Health: from dental health to oncology, clinical trials optional!
5) What is truly important in my proposal, depending on the agency?
6) Political risks and evolving grant roadmaps: what does the rapidly changing federal funding landscape mean for me?
7) Alternatives to SBA grants and international opportunities through joint ventures
