WHY WE'RE HERE
Talent is everywhere. The room isn’t

WHAT WE DO
Back early-stage founders. Run free programs. Open the room. Stay in their corner long after.

THE COMMUNITY
The room.
Demo nights, mentor sessions, and everything in between.
There’s a spot in the room for you.
If you’re building something, the room is open.
“We came in as a sponsor. We stayed because the founders coming out of that room are the future of this city.”
— Calvin Selth, Senior Director, Pledge LA
