State of 805 Tech, Honor Local Leaders and Investor Panel with Top VCs!!!

This event will blow all our previous events out of the water. Be sure to register right away to ensure a spot.

We'll start the night off with a (very) short presentation about the current state of the 805 Startup and Tech community, with a 5 year outlook/forecast showcasing our collective impact on the local economy.

Then, we'll honor a few of the top local community leaders and showcase their work.

Then, we'll have a panel of local Venture Capitalists and Angel investors to discuss how/if geography plays a role in their decision making, the benefits of living and working in the 805, how much driving to LA stinks, and how to convince them your startup is worth their investment $!
