DINNER WITH LEGENDS Be inspired by the greatest sporting achievers of our time
An Evening With Sporting Legends Who’ve Lived the Spotlight and Built the Blueprint
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, over cocktails with four 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.
Ryan Anderson – A decade in the NBA with the New Jersey Nets, Orlando Magic, New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets, and Miami Heat. Former NBA sharpshooter now investing in the future, with the same precision he brought to the court.
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.
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. No mics. 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 to 70 guests.
Complimentary access for accredited investors by application and approval.
$100 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.
