Top VCs Investment Circle by Expert DOJO & Unlock Ventures LA #TechWeek
This event is a part of #TechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
📍Santa Monica
The Investorpalooza is hosted by Expert DOJO and Unlock Ventures. This event for this week is for high-quality VCs and their startups. Unlock Ventures and Expert DOJO are welcoming proven VCs and their portfolio companies to join a unique pitch environment. We highly recommend that non-local investors register.
The idea is simple. Each selected VC gets to bring one portfolio company. Each portfolio company will get to meet with a minimum of 10 other top VCs for a 10 min pitch with each investor, and vice versa.
All attending companies are VC-backed and the pitch quality high to make the best use of everyone's time. The objective is (i) to find more well qualified deals to invest in (ii) and for your portfolio companies to get additional funding from peer investors.
If you're representing a VC fund but don't have a portfolio company to bring, no problem. Submit an application and we'll fill the additional startup spot.
If you're a VC-backed startup with no investors attending, submit an application.
