About us
THIS GROUP IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
Don't worry. We are getting back to an LA focus, and we take our role in the community extremely seriously, providing you with the support the original group offered you.
Our mission:
- Inspire
- Educate
- Foster authentic relationships between those across the Greater LA Region
- Make our events and programs as accessible as possible
- Uplift as many people as possible regardless of industry, market, field, level of experience, role (investor, entrepreneur, career professional)
We are locals supporting locals.
Message the organizer, Gary, via DM to make any requests for mentors and events (online and in-person), or to share what you are working on, could use support with, and are able to help others with. You can also email Gary [at] 805startups.com.
--------------
The focus of this group is to support founders and future founders through mentorship and peer support.
Investors and career professionals are also welcome here to connect with others, find inspiration, and learn from one another about all things related to startups, entrepreneurship, and the professional fields that make a business successful.
This group will provide you with online and in-person events to:
- Connect with peers and mentors
- Ask mentors questions directly (no infomercials; they will not try selling to you)
- Engage in workshops to get feedback and understanding
- Share what you are working on, want support with, and how you can help others
- Discover the wonderful people around you and build authentic, collaborative relationships (not the usual transactional "me, me, me" nonsense)

Pitch to Your Peers: Pitch Practices & Landing Page Reviews
·OnlineOnlineA workshop to practice pitching (elevator pitches, investor pitches, sales pitches, and anything else) and get your landing page reviewed constructively with the community.
***
You can leverage this event to ask questions, learn how to pitch best, practice your pitch, and learn how to design an effective landing page.
- Enrolled members of our Incubator program will have priority to go first.
- We livestream and record this event to serve as a learning tool for ourselves and the community.
- While pitching, remember not to share any confidential information or trade secrets. Please consult a qualified lawyer if you are unsure what not to disclose. Our friends at Stradling Law and SoCal IP are wonderful community partners and very accessible. You can meet them at our VIP Lunch for basic insights into these matters.
- Do not worry about people stealing your ideas. This is incredibly rare, and the practice and feedback you will receive are invaluable. Anyone who attempts to follow your lead to pursue a similar idea will produce something drastically different, as they will apply their own biases, thoughts, feelings, experience, insights, skills, resources, and personal touch. Consider how drastically different a hamburger is from one restaurant to another, and how each burger appeals to very different people for very different reasons. Expand that to an entire company and its brand.
