Welcome back to reality, LA!
I hope all of you had an amazing week with LA Tech Week, and I’m sure you’re all nursing hangovers into this week, but the networking and events continues. LA never sleeps (until 10p, when all the bars close and we retreat to house parties in the Hills).
I was honored over this weekend to meet a handful of the organizers of events in LA, including leaders from dot.LA, DigitalLA, TEDxSouthCentral, and hosted by WeAreLATech. And the vibe was amazing. There’s so much energy, vibrancy, and intentionality in the LA entrepreneur community. And there’s a lot more cooking in this year, so keep going out!
Despite there being no LA TechWeek this week, there’s plenty of happy hours and networking events this week, across LA County and I’ve peppered in some more entertainment-related events, by popular demand.
Yours truly, Minh Do
