About Los Angeles · October 2026

LA Tech Week runs through Friday, mostly mixers, with a few builder rooms worth the evening. Builders & Brews hosts a hackathon on Oct 13, and Nerdstage runs a Demo Day on Oct 14. The best dinner is Acquired's LA Tech Week meetup on Oct 16, a chance to meet people from the podcast many founders already listen to. Most of the rest is pitch nights and cofounder mixers, so spend your time on those three.
