About Event

Founders & Funders II
​Round 1 was epic. Time for Round Two.
​We’re back for the second installment of Founders & Funders. The first one was a vibe, so we’re doing it again – just more dialed in.
​No 45-minute panels. No “thought leadership” fluff. Just a room full of people who actually build, fund, and scale things. We hand-picked four founders who have their math right to show us what they’re building. Participating panelists will be representatives from HustleFund, OpenSkyVC, A2X Foundry, SmartGateVC, Keiretsu Forum, etc.
​We are partnering with Pepperdine’s “Most Fundable Company” Competition. Companies being showcased will be high caliber and ripe for take-off!
​The Flow:

​6:00 PM | Arrivals & Strategic Intros: Grab a drink. Meet someone who can actually move the needle for you.

​6:30 PM | Opening Remarks: Jonathan opens the floor with a few words on why we’re all here.

​6:45 PM | The Showcase: 4 founders. 10 minutes each. Real Q&A with our investor panel.

​8:00 PM | Open Floor: More drinks, better conversations, and actual deal-making.

​The Catch:
​We’re keeping this tight – capped at 60 people. We want everyone in the room to be high-signal. If you’re a founder with traction or an investor looking for the next thing that makes sense, you belong here.
