LA Tech Week brought founders and investors together for candid conversations about building companies and raising capital.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Santa Monica, shared what they’re working on, and brought their questions to the room.
Special thanks to TJ Taylor, Alex Nahai, Yash Alluri, and Arjun Vad for sharing their perspectives, and to our co-host Seed2Table for helping make the evening possible.
At Raisi, we’re building on those conversations with tools to help founders sharpen their pitch, prepare for investor questions, and approach their next round with a clearer strategy.
Message us to see how Raisi can support your raise.

I INTERVIEWED DOZENS OF INVESTORS ACROSS SIX DIFFERENT CITIES IN FRONT OF 1,000+ FOUNDERS.

Alex Nahai (@AlexNahaiLaw), Moonlight Capital investor and securities attorney, distinguished fixable paperwork from real business risks.
Before raising, review your IP, regulatory exposure and liabilities with counsel. Unresolved risks give investors leverage.

I was home for about 4 days in all of October
During that time @raisi_ai was in 7 different cities, hosting events like these and prepping announcements with a new wave of incredible partners we're excited to work with
I've met some really great new friends during that time as well.
I've been raising and deploying capital into startups since I was 17 and I've never felt more on the ground and in the trenches of the startup ecosystem than I did this month
Finally back in NYC - sleeping in tonight
See you all back in SF this Monday
A few of our favorite moments from SF Tech Week.
From pitch preparation at Plug and Play to breakfast at Frontier Tower, deep-tech demos aboard the USS Hornet, and Founder Investor Day at Finix HQ, thank you to everyone who joined us to talk about building companies, raising capital, and what investors actually look for.
