WHY WE'RE HERE

Ten years. On the record.

567 founders. 407 companies. $140M raised.

Equity was never the aspiration. It was the foundation.

In 2015, seven people in downtown LA started with a hunch: that the city was full of founders the rooms kept missing. This is the decade that followed.

Not a highlight reel. The whole record the capital raised, the companies still standing, the jobs made, and the parts we're still working out. Told through the founders who lived it.
