Plug In Ventures' Founder & Investor Roundtable Series: Where LA's Next Breakout Founders Get in the Room
Plug In Ventures' Founder & Investor Roundtable Series: LA brings together pre-seed and seed-stage entrepreneurs with leading investors, industry experts, and service providers for an intimate, hands-on experience built around one goal: unlocking what comes next.
This isn't a panel. It's a working session.
You belong in this room if:
You're pre-seed — your technology is built, you're testing with early customers, and you're ready to turn those conversations into traction
You're seed-stage — you have paying customers or active pilots, and you need the infrastructure, relationships, and strategic clarity to turn that momentum into repeatable growth
Either way, you've already done something. This gathering is designed for founders who are past the idea stage and ready to operate at the next level.
Roundtable discussions will spotlight LA's most active innovation sectors — including fintech, digital health, climate, enterprise AI, and web3 — and tackle the specific challenges founders face at this stage:
Crafting a compelling narrative around your pitch and financials
Building a repeatable enterprise sales process
Leveraging AI in startup operations
Preparing for fundraising readiness and navigating early capital raises
Structuring the legal and financial foundations for scale
You'll be in the room with investors, industry experts, and service providers from Vamos Ventures, Kapor Capital, and Plug In Ventures, alongside leading voices in startup banking, legal services, and enterprise innovation. These aren't spectators — they're here to engage directly with founders like you.
The evening will also feature a special moment as we present checks to two finalists from the NBA Foundation Pitch Competition that emerged from All-Star Weekend—adding an exciting highlight and bringing a strong group of founders and ecosystem leaders into the room.
Upon arrival, attendees will be allocated to three of six roundtables. Arrive early to make the most of your experience.
