BLANKSPACES Coworking

🎬 That's a wrap on TECH WEEK by a16z in LA. I loved hosting my first event, "Sales & GTM For Founders", taking live Q&A, and seeing so many familiar and new faces. Hopefully, folks came away feeling a little more confident in selling and realizing sales is not a dirty word. Thank you to BLANKSPACES Coworking Venice, Culture Pop Soda, and Wonder Women Tech for being great partners. Thank you to Kirin Kalia and Tanya Nguyen for the photos and action shots of the event. Thanks to all my Xoogler.co, Google, WE ARE THE BOARD, and The Upside friends for coming out and supporting me in my first tech week event. If you attended or RSVPed to the event, be on the lookout for a follow-up email newsletter with my slides and special offers from the event.

If it wasn't clear from our program flyer why Chris 💡 Eversley and I decided to call our in-person leadership program 'The BIG and small of LEADERSHIP', the picture on the left should clarify! This jam packed day is designed for new and emerging leaders to discover the BIG impact of effective leadership strategies and the small details that can make a significant difference in your leadership style. Join us at BLANKSPACES Coworking Venice for a day filled with interactive workshops, creativity and experiential learning.

Captured this moment of my office mate Luetrell Toler mid-conversation during LA Tech Week at BLANKSPACES Coworking in Santa Monica. Always great seeing how easily he builds genuine connections — the kind of conversations that make events like these worth attending. If your company’s hiring or you’re thinking about a career pivot, reach out and tell him Steve sent you. He’ll help you get the part, and I’ll help you look the part with a great headshot. #LATechWeek #SiliconBeach #Headshots #Hiring #ExecutiveSearch #CareerPivot #PersonalBranding #Networking Jerome Chang

I had a blast co-hosting an Office Hours event with Dee Zheng, representing Gumshoe Ventures, and meeting so many passionate and impactful founders! Amongst many questions, we discussed: - The current funding landscape - Vibe coding and its impact on MVPs - Where to find technical co-founders - The best AI coding tools (I like Claude Code with the BMAD framework).  Thanks to Hustle Fund and BLANKSPACES Coworking for organizing the event!

Our second-ever Breakout: Office Hours with Hustle Fund at TECH WEEK by a16z #LATechWeek is officially wrapped! Huge thanks to all the founders who joined us for deep-dive conversations, real talk, and tactical advice from our team and partners. The energy and curiosity in the room were off the charts. Huge thanks to Syndicate for partnering with us to bring this event to life, and to BLANKSPACES Coworking for hosting us in their beautiful space. We’re also incredibly grateful to Mercer Advisors for sponsoring and supporting founders and our community. We loved seeing the energy and ambition in the room. Thank you all for making it such an unforgettable evening! Can’t wait to see you all at the next one!

Thanks to everyone who braved the rain to eat breakfast burritos and talk about fractional life and AI at our #LATechWeek event this morning! I left feeling energized by discussions about using AI to scale rather than build, finding your fractional niche, vibe coding, Reddit and LinkedIn marketing, and the new AI tools we’re testing. It was really special to see the conversations flow, new connections being made, and even a few selfies being taken. There’s incredible energy in LA around fractional work, which can be easy to miss day-to-day when we’re heads down on client work and running our own businesses. Shoutout to my cohost Emily Hollender. Couldn’t have done it without you! You’re a gem who spots what needs to be done and just does it. Anyone who gets to work with you is lucky! And thanks to our partners: Event space: BLANKSPACES Coworking Breakfast: Alfalfa Collaborator: Ashley Grace Jefferson, MBA F3 (Founders, Funders, Fractionals)
