🚀 Grid110 Presents: Founder Showcase, sponsored by PledgeLA
Celebrate diversity and innovation at the LA Tech Week Underrepresented Founder Showcase—a pivotal event spotlighting the next generation of trailblazing entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities. As part of #TechWeek, this showcase is dedicated to amplifying the voices and ideas of founders who are often overlooked by traditional startup ecosystems.
Hosted by Grid110, an organization committed to providing entrepreneurs with access to community, mentors, and critical resources through no-cost, no-equity programs, this event is an opportunity to hear from a select group of early-stage founders as they pitch their groundbreaking solutions. These founders represent the diversity and resilience of the tech community, and their stories are as compelling as their innovations. Investors, industry leaders, and fellow entrepreneurs will be in attendance, ready to engage with and support these visionary founders.
Whether you’re passionate about promoting inclusivity in tech, seeking to connect with underrepresented founders, or simply eager to experience fresh ideas, this event is not to be missed. Join us in supporting a more equitable tech landscape and be inspired by the future of innovation.
