We believe that what Expert DOJO earns in the startup community through great investments should be returned to that same community. This is not the spark of a future dream, it’s the burning fire of a reality today. With almost 200 startup investments from over 30 countries, we are already creating ripples in a very big pond. Our ambitions are to grow to over 1,000 startup investments in the next 5 years and tilt up the startup world from founders to investors. After our last very successful equity crowdfunding campaign we are again giving the whole community an opportunity to own a part of the Expert DOJO company.
Whether you invest or not we would like to invite our investors, mentors, trainers, team, supporters and startups to join us at a celebration of all our success over the last four years. We cannot thank everyone enough for the overwhelming support we’ve received over the years. Our trainers make our program what it is, our mentors shine a light on the road ahead, our team turn up every day to create a better startup world, our partner is a rock beneath our feet and I am blessed to be around you all. Each and everyone one of you are an integral part of our journey and all deserve a little bit of fun!
Expert DOJO will host a celebration at the office in Santa Monica with games, drinks, music and more! We look forward to seeing you there : )

LA is a community of some of the most exceptional investors in the United States and we want to ensure that the community bonds with experiences that build friendships as well as exceptional deal flow.
In this event, we have combined some of the most exciting activities for an unforgettable evening where investors can test their taste buds, play poker and potentially win a bottle of one of the finest tequilas. It will take place on September 29th, 6:00PM – 9:00 PM PT and has been very kindly sponsored by Expert DOJO portfolio companies, Agava Spirits and Trident Coffee as well as Reitler.

Thank you to our sponsors:

Agava’s tequila is produced by the best growers in Mexico and is now ready for distribution throughout the rest of the world. They are a luxury tequila brand; classy, polished packaging, capturing the high-end tequila whitespace.
Trident, who have almost fully funded their angel round will be providing cold brews.
Reitler is a leading Venture Capital law firm with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Princeton, representing both emerging companies and venture investors across the US and internationally.

The poker tournament will be 12 investors, however, everyone else is welcome to watch the poker, enjoy the music, drink, and have a wonderful evening building relationships. At the end of the evening, the winner will walk away with a reserved prized bottle of Agava tequila which will be released in their first distribution which is expected in the beginning of 2023.
*Buy in for the poker tournament is $50 and first, second and third will walk away with the cash.
This event is exclusively for investors in the startup ecosystem to attend. Event info will be shared upon registration. In the following weeks, we will be hosting exciting events for startups.

Expert DOJO will be bringing 10 of our cohort companies to TechDay to showcase their innovation to the top investors in New York City. In addition to all 10 companies exhibiting in the Expert DOJO pavilion, they will also be introduced to investors separately the following day so that they can maximize their exposure to the top investors in New York.

Expert DOJO are dedicated to not only growing our companies through internal scaling models but we are also extremely focused on making sure that our invested companies are exposed to the top investors in the country. We know that the best exposure of the top companies will result in investment term sheets and that is why we have negotiated to position our Expert DOJO showcase pavilion to be seen by everyone.

All Expert DOJO portfolio companies are welcome to join us in New York to attend TechDay along with the 10 lucky companies who will be exhibiting their brand. Any Expert DOJO company interested should email isabelle@expertdojo.com.

This event will be subsidized through a partner/sponsor of Expert DOJO, facilitating a lower cost for all 10 of our startups exhibiting to attend this event. We appreciate all of our partners who are continually trying to make the scaling of our companies a smooth path to success!

It’s time to drink Blind Tiger (spiked or unspiked) and dance on the tables! (Not really, please stay off the tables). Dress up in your 1920’s glam and you’re welcome to bring your best jazz partner – we look forward to seeing you!

The Expert DOJO investor Club wants our investors to have some fun and would love to have you join us and Blind Tiger for our speakeasy evening. This is a night beyond all others. Only applicants with approved registration will be able to join us – discretion is paramount!
Who? Investors and Key Opinion Leaders only. Approved registrations are required to join. Partners welcomed.

Startups, Come & Meet Your Favorite Investors At Expert DOJO on Feb 23rd!

Here at Expert DOJO, we recognize that startups need the support of the venture community to help break through to levels that allow you to compete with the best venture backed startups in the world. Every month, Expert DOJO will be arranging four top angels and venture capitalists to answer questions and guide you as to how to build the billion dollar company that you have already visualized.
Agenda:

6:00 PM – Mingle
6:30 PM – 7:30 PM – Investor Panel
7:30 PM – 8:30 PM – Networking

This session is especially important because it takes a different type of founder to build a seed stage company, an A stage company, and a unicorn. During this session, our investor experts will answer the difficult questions to help you navigate this road. Come and join us! This session is sponsored by Reitler Kailas & Rosenblatt LLP and Plan Writers. There is no charge to take part in this as it has been generously supported by our sponsors.
Reitler is a leading Venture Capital law firm with offices in New York, Los Angeles and Princeton, representing both emerging companies and venture investors across the US and internationally. Pitchbook ranks Reitler in the “Top 10” in Venture Capital transactions (7th in the US and 8th globally as of Q2 2022). Reitler’s practice areas also include M&A exit transactions, corporate finance, fund formation, tax and executive compensation, intellectual property, litigation and entertainment law.
Plan Writers prepare investor-ready pitch decks to help startups unlock the capital they need to grow. They’ve helped over 5,000 startups raise over $1 Billion over the last 10 years, and there is nothing they love more than to help entrepreneurs succeed.

That is why we are calling out to angels and funds led by or focused on black founders. Join us as we arrange an evening where we take control of change. Agenda

We have now done this for two months in a row and startups love the informal environment where they can ask anything they want to experienced investors over a glass of wine. This month we will have 4 powerful female investors from funds, angel groups and solo investors sharing their perspective of what drives their investment decisions. There is no cost for this event as it’s how we at the DOJO py back to the startup ecosystem.
​Here at Expert DOJO, we recognize that startups need the support of the venture community to help break through to levels that allow you to compete with the best venture backed startups in the world. Every month, Expert DOJO will be arranging 4-5 top angels and venture capitalists to answer questions and guide you as to how to build the billion dollar company that you have already visualized.
​Agenda:

​6:00 PM – Mingle
​6:30 PM – 7:30 PM – Investor Panel
​7:30 PM – 9:00 PM – Networking

​This session is especially important because it takes a different type of founder to build a seed stage company, an A stage company, and a unicorn. During this session, our investor experts will answer the difficult questions to help you navigate this road. Come and join us!
​Meet the top female angels and venture capitalists presenting:

Emily Serebryany is a 2XFounder, angel investor, startup coach, and board member. She has founded two companies, including Mediscan, Inc, a healthcare staffing company that became one of the leaders in the healthcare recruitment space and reached $45 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) before being sold to a publicly traded company in 2015.
Emily has been an angel investor and venture partner, co-investing with HealthTech Capital, a Silicon Valley-based angel investment group with deep expertise in the healthtech space, and Gaingels, one of the largest investors in the startup space that supports women and LGBTQ founders. In addition, Emily is a certified professional coach who helps women founders confidently fundraise, lead, and enjoy their entrepreneurial journey. As a coach she empowers women to navigate the unique challenges of entrepreneurship and develop an authentic leadership style that is based on their strengths.

Jenny Q. Ta is a 3x founder veteran of Wall Street, self-made millionaire, and seasoned entrepreneur with three highly successful early ventures to her credit. As founder and CEO of Titan Securities, a full-service broker-dealer and investment banking firm, Ms. Ta built a company that was profitable enough to be acquired in 2005. Prior to that venture, Jenny had filled the role of founder, CEO, and driving force behind Vantage Investments, another full-service broker-dealer and investment banking firm that she started while still in her twenties and quickly grew to a-third-of-a-billion dollars in assets.
Ms. Ta’s next two entrepreneurial endeavors included masterminding two modern tech companies: VCNetwork.co, a virtual “E-Harmony meets Shark Tank” matching entrepreneurs with VCs, and CoinLinked.com, an American online social commerce platform powered by a decentralized blockchain solution to connect the traditional marketplaces of today with the digital currencies of tomorrow. These two more-recent ventures were solidly grounded in Jenny’s rich business background, which includes extensive firsthand experience in senior executive management, sales, marketing, and finance, with forays into the FinTech industry and exploration of the opportunities that cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and other distributed ledger technologies afford.

Jennifer Byrne is an active mentor, investor, and advisor in both enterprise and consumer technology. She is as a Limited Partner and Venture Partner in two venture funds: Grit Capital Partners and K2 Access Fund. Grit invests in early stage ecosystem platforms who are seeking to disrupt the status and has made 20 investments to date. K2 focused on Series A and B enterprise SaaS and cloud companies. K2’s first investment is now valued at $1.6 billion.
In 2012, Jennifer co-founded Quesnay Inc. which is a strategy and innovation advisory firm which also produces executive events, global startup accelerators. In 2017, Quesnay launched the world’s first and largest Female Founders in FinTech & InsurTech accelerator to source and support women-led fintechs while facilitating mutually beneficial startup-corporate-investor relationships. In 2020, the program expanded into Mobility. Over 500 women-led startups have applied and been evaluated by 500+ industry leaders & investors, raising over $1.8B.

Victoria Silchenko, Ph.D. is one of the leading alternative funding experts in the United States, an economist turned entrepreneur and adviser, known for being at the forefront of next-generation, impact-driven venture financing models in the new digital era. She has authored numerous articles for the Huffington Post, the Los Angeles Business Journal, and CrowdfundInsider, among other industry media, and been invited to the White House as a “crowdfunding champion.”
As a prominent international speaker, Dr. Silchenko’s lecture tours have taken her to countries such as Brazil, Zambia, Kyrgyzstan, and India as well as to her homeland of Russia, where she grew up in the first-generation there that enthusiastically embraced capitalism and the market economy. She is the founder of the consulting boutique, Metropole Capital Group, and the World Funding Summit, both based in Los Angeles, and serves as a visiting professor at the California Lutheran University (CLU) School of Management, where she teaches Entrepreneurial Finance to MBA students. Dr. Silchenko has served on the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Venture Association (LAVA) and is currently on the Advisory Board of The California Stock Exchange.
