TECH WEEK by a16z

Two cities, two weeks, 2,400+ events and 85,000+ people. SF and LA Tech Week are a wrap, and what lingers with us is how much of it was built by people who truly didn't have to. Hosts who opened up their offices. Founders who stayed late to answer one more question. Strangers who turned into group chats. People that truly got involved when they could’ve just as easily stayed at their desks. Thank you to everyone who hosted, spoke, showed up early or stayed late, shared on social media or just joined in a quick conversation or two. You made it what it was truly meant to be. To the Tech Week team who pulled it all together: Andrew Chen Katia Ameri Rose Johnson Tracy Massaro Filip Graniczny Janelle Johnson And to our sponsors, thank you for backing this community: Fenwick & West HSBC Innovation Banking IBM Speedrun Adobe Atlassian Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloudflare Deel Fireworks AI Google for Startups Hyperagent Intercom PwC Vercel CoreWeave DoorDash for Business HubSpot For Startups Intuit Klaviyo Scale AI Vonage Xometry Zendesk See you next year. 2027 dates have been announced: Boston: April 26–May 2 New York: June 7–13 Los Angeles: September 13–19 San Francisco: October 4–10

Vonage knows best how to cultivate a space that feels both calm & progressive at the same time. Thanks for being part of #latechweek with us!

You already knew the Speedrun popup was going to be amazing. Everyone loved the chance to meet our team in person, ask questions & prepare themselves to apply to the new season that just opened (apply below). Plus - we captured our resident lightning bolt Rose Johnson doing what she does best.🙂 Big win for the Andreessen Horowitz + Speedrun team.

Get ready to feel like you've never felt before. Closing party for #latechweek is almost here - made possible by ElevenLabs / Chroma Awards / Andreessen Horowitz. Spots are going like hot cakes (what even is a hot cake?) and we'd love to see you there. Big ole warm, lavender-scented shoutout to Notion / Unicorner for closing us out for #sftechweek in total dominance.

First moments of an incredible #latechweek so far. A huge, HUGE thank you to all the hosts, sponsors, partners, and guests for making this lovely week a possibility. We're all learning, meeting & growing together - let's keep the momentum going as we hit the mid-week stride. HSBC Innovation Banking, Fenwick & West, IBM, Adobe, Atlassian, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cloudflare, Deel, Fireworks AI, Hyperagent, Google for Startups, PwC, Fin, Vercel, Speedrun And our amazing team: Andrew Chen / Rose Johnson / Tracy Massaro / Filip Graniczny / Janelle Johnson / Katia Ameri & many, many more.

Yesterday we talked to the incredibly talented Adobe team about their #latechweek event in Santa Monica. Thanks again Hannah Steinhardt for hosting alongside Greycroft, with panelists Don Allen Stevenson III / Dana Settle / David Popowitz. Sponsored by HSBC Innovation Banking

Tinder is an original member of the LA tech community. It got its start here, and we’re proud to keep showing up for the city that helped build it. Today, we brought together founders, operators and investors at The Penmar in Venice with Dustin Rosen (Wonder Ventures), Thomas Kang (Fenwick & West), Emlyn Thompson (Ramp) for LA TECH WEEK by a16z. Five years ago, a few of us were kicking around the idea for Tech Week and wondering whether anyone would show up. Seeing how much it’s grown since those first handful of events makes me proud to be part of this community. And bringing people together in person is something Tinder is doing more of, too. You can now find fun things to do through Tinder Events, including right here at The Penmar. Thanks to everyone who joined us, and to Ramp, Fenwick & West Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for helping make it happen. There’s a lot to be excited about in LA. #LongLA #LATechWeek2026 #LATechWeek

Badass people doing badass things. AI, Infrastructure, and Deep Tech are converging and LA is leading the innovation.
