Top Learnings from my second LA Tech Week TECH WEEK by a16z: 🏙️ Plan with the geography of LA in mind, don't try to go from Venice to DTLA. This year I clustered my events largely in one area for AM and one for PM. Midday there are fewer events and a good time to catch up on work. Ok, confession I did Uber from Venice to DTLA one night but only because I got a last-minute ticket to American Idiot at CTGLA (sidenote go see this incredible collaboration with Deaf West and CTGLA). ➕ ➖ Big & small, mix up the size of events. I loved going and networking at large events but got more 1:1 time and deeper conversations in intimate ones. Don't be afraid to take a chance on smaller events. One of my favorite events was an intimate podcast-tapping by Ashley Pollak of the Firehouse Salon at UCLA Botanical Gardens (sorry I didn't get any pics but was immersed in the real-life experience/convo). The best large networking event I went to was Gritty In Pink and Stella Foundation at Live Nation Entertainment. 👯 Bring/meet up with friends. Networking can be awkward but is a million times easier if you know even just one person there. Shout out to my fellow entrepreneurs and friends I got to meet IRL and attend events with like: Lisa Mae Brunson Kirin Kalia Susie Trujillo Megha Kadakia #techweekla #latechweek
