Get inside access to angels and sharks at our next event on Wednesday, May 23rd. We are putting together a panel to discuss the $1.3 BILLION funding flurry given to LA startups since January first - and how YOU can get in on the action. If you are seeking investor funding to build new technology or capture market share, then you need to be at this event. We will ask the investor panel blunt questions on where they find deal-flow, which industries are hot, and what they look for in prospective companies. Our goal is for you and your startup to be more attractive to investors.  Get past the pitch deck and closer to the close!.  

Location Host Dr. Larry Cox and TiE SoCal team brings you a Power Up! event with open mike  pitches and an impressive Investor panel at the Pepperdine University's West LA campus.  Enjoy participating with Italian food! .
