Founders take the stage. Investors decide who advances.

TiE Los Angeles has partnered with Tech Coast Venture Network, Southern California's longest-running founder-first nonprofit, to bring Survivor 14 to the Investor Summit.

NOT ANOTHER STARTUP CONFERENCE

HELPING FOUNDERS MOVE FORWARD.

Through access, conversations, visibility, partnerships, and capital. Al may power these companies – but this summit is about the businesses being built with it. Founders don’t need more hype; they need fewer roadblocks. The 2026 summit is built around practical growth and meaningful networking across the Southern California ecosystem.
