Happy hump day, LA!

Did everyone have a great LA Tech Week?

I certainly met some interesting people and had some insightful conversations. We also got to enjoy a really special installment of Startup Arena, where founders & investors met and several very interesting startups presented on the arena stage. We learned about everything from AI for home renovation to death planning and biotech research. One lucky startup, Haus.me, which is innovating off-grid housing with some very clever engineering, was selected by the panel to receive the grand prize: a spot at the upcoming Demo Day LA event (Nov 20 in Venice):

And you can invest before a planned Nasdaq listing in 2028.
