Thanksgiving is over, but we are still cooking!

Today, we kick off VC Chats, our new college pop-up event series at UCLA.

Universities are vital components of tech ecosystems, and Emerging LA is ready to build the talent pipeline for the next generation of founders and investors.

With top universities like USC, UCLA, Caltech, UCI, and CSUF, SoCal rivals academic hubs like San Francisco, New York, and Boston.

Our mission is to inspire intelligent minds graduating from SoCal schools to adopt an innovation mindset and drive the next wave of innovation.

Expect more VC Chats throughout 2025. We aim to be at every university and college across SoCal.

If you would like to co-host a chat at your school or alma mater, send us a note!

Dive into the world of VC as we discuss VC fundamentals, strategies for breaking into VC, and the state of the LA ecosystem at UCLA.

Super honored to be head of GenAI Collective’s Los Angeles chapter. The timing couldn’t have been better.

GenAI is HOT in LA, and rightly so. LA is the global center of media and entertainment.

The revolution is underway, and both in industry and community. I am excited to lead new events and new formats to explore our future with GenAI.
