About Event

We believe it’s important to take a moment to recognize the milestones along the way. While we stay focused on the bigger picture, progress like this deserves to be celebrated.
​A number of our portfolio companies have moved beyond the early stage and are now competing at scale, with revenues north of $100M and valuations way beyond that. These milestones reflect years of disciplined execution and commitment.
​We’d love to welcome our community to an evening of appreciation at the Expert DOJO headquarters in Santa Monica as we celebrate these achievements together. We hope you can make it!
​*Expert DOJO is located in the Santa Monica Mall, top floor, with our entrance next to Cheesecake Factory.

About Event

Every Wednesday starting from 11th March, 09:00 AM PT onwards

Expert DOJO Unfiltered is our standing Wednesday webinar for current and prospective investors, members of our community, and anyone seeking a deeper look into how we build and invest.
​Each session begins with Brian sharing the story behind Expert DOJO — how we started, how our investment model works, how the portfolio is performing, and where we’re headed next.
​We then open the floor for live Q&A, with plenty of time for direct, unfiltered conversation.

​Why This Matters
​Venture capital is one of the most powerful asset classes in the world — and investors should expect 30–40% annualized returns from top-tier models.
​Most VC investors average under 10%.
​Since 2019, Expert DOJO has averaged 38% annually.
​We built a different structure — a venture cooperative model designed to own more, buy earlier, and scale smarter. Our best companies have grown 50x in just a few months following our investment. Learn more here.

​The SVP, Global Brand Creative at Lululemon, Ravi Hampole, will take the stage to share how one of the world’s most respected brands builds long-term brand equity in a fast-moving market. From brand strategy and storytelling to community-driven growth and experiential retail, this session offers an inside look at how Lululemon turns values into culture, and culture into a competitive advantage.

​Dan Murphy is SVP of marketing at Liquid Death, one of the fastest growing non-alcoholic beverage brands. Liquid Death uses comedy and entertainment to make health and sustainability 50 times more fun. We take the healthiest thing you can drink and package it into infinitely recyclable cans that can actually compete with the fun marketing of unhealthy brands across energy drinks, beer, and junk food. A portion of Liquid Death’s proceeds goes to nonprofits who are helping to fight plastic pollution and bringing clean drinking water to those in need.
​Prior to Liquid Death Dan had an advertising career building digital products (The launch of Domino’s Pizza Tracker was one of his first) as well as just about anything that connects to the Internet (sites, apps, experiential, content). He also spent 3 years at Google playing with machine learning superpowers and has founded and helped build other startups, too.

​— Josh Resnick: Previously the founder of Sugarfina, a CPG brand creating luxury candy for the gift market. He is currently a Co-founder and General Partner at OpenSky Ventures, where he invests in CPG brands.
​— Lawrence Hsu: Co-founded an advanced lighting company that was acquired by SAMSUNG. He has since angel invested in over 30+ startups ranging from CPG to tech. GP at Misfit Ventures

About Event

Join us for an evening where some of the brightest minds in data and AI come together for drinks, conversation, and meaningful connections.
​​This monthly gathering brings together founders, operators, investors, and professionals working across data, AI, and emerging technologies across Los Angeles. The goal is simple — create a relaxed space where people building the future of data can meet, exchange ideas, and build relationships.
​​The evening is hosted at Expert Dojo in collaboration with Matchbook AI, a platform that helps organizations integrate, enrich, and govern external data so businesses can make faster and more reliable decisions powered by trusted data.
​​This is a casual social evening focused on community and conversation rather than presentations.
​​If you’re working in data, AI, machine learning, analytics, or data infrastructure, we’d love to have you join us.

About Event

IN PUBLIC: Build a Brand That Wins Customers and Gets Funded
​A live brand strategy session. You’re not just in the room. You’re building alongside. And you leave with everything: playbook, workbook, and frameworks.
​The Setup:
​Most events talk about what worked. This one puts you in the room while it happens.
​IN PUBLIC is a live working session. Not a panel. Not a keynote. We take one real company and build their growth strategy from scratch. In public. With you watching, asking, and contributing.
​We work on both sides of growth at once: the brand that wins customers and the story that wins investors. Because the companies that raise and the companies that scale have figured out those aren’t two different things. They’re the same thing told to two different rooms.
​Your best investors are your customers. The founders who figure that out first are the ones who build brands that don’t just attract buyers. They attract capital.
​Your Guides:
​CAMINO5 — Ryan Edwards has led growth strategy for brands behind $1B+ in enterprise value. The brand and visibility lens.
​Expert DOJO — Brian Mac Mahon has backed 300+ companies and guided founders through Series A and B. The investor lens.
​What You Take Home:

​A brand positioning you can use immediately

​A funding narrative that makes investors lean in

​Frameworks to keep building after the night ends

​The Night:
​We start with Matchbook (matchbookai.com). They sat in this seat before. Two hours of real conversation about brand growth and funding. The result? They went from stalled to climbing, with new clients and a funding round about to close.
​Then we work live with Sensate (us.getsensate.com). TIME Best Invention of 2022. $19M+ in lifetime revenue. Sold in 50+ countries. They built the market for stress relief and meditation devices. We’ll workshop their brand together, and in doing so, workshop yours too.
​After, we head to the balcony. Open conversation about brand and founding. No agenda. Just making sure every question gets answered before you leave.
​Who This Is For: Founders, operators, and marketing leads who understand that great products don’t build great companies. Great brands do.
​Details: Tuesday, April 28, 2026 · 6:00 PM Expert DOJO · 395 Santa Monica Pl, Suite 308 · Santa Monica, CA
​$27 early / $37 at the door · Limited spots. Small room on purpose.

About Event

​Are you an Indian founder, entrepreneur, or investor looking to expand into the United States?
​Join us for an exclusive live webinar hosted in collaboration with Expert DOJO, where we break down how the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program can provide a direct pathway to U.S. permanent residency (Green Card).

​What You’ll Learn

​How the EB-5 visa program works step-by-step

​Minimum investment requirements and updated rules

​How Indian founders can structure investments strategically

​The role of due diligence and project selection

​Key risks to avoid and how to mitigate them

​Real-world insights from $1B+ in completed projects

​Why This Webinar Matters
​India continues to be one of the fastest-growing EB-5 markets, but many investors still lack clear, trustworthy guidance.
​This webinar brings together top-tier experts in venture capital and immigration investment strategy to give you transparent, practical knowledge without the confusion.
​Meet the Speakers:

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.
