Ai-Native SEED FOUNDERS THIS IS FOR YOU!

Sharpen your story. Find your community. Build your company.

October 13, 2026 · LA Tech WeeK

PitchLive returns for LA Tech Week, reimagined for founders building the next era of intelligent systems.

Presented by Alpha Edison and hosted by Amplify.LA, PitchLive.LA is a live startup pitch event where founders building the next generation of intelligent systems meet investors, operators, and peers shaping what comes next.

This year, PitchLive sharpens its focus on AI-Native Companies, Agentic Systems, Decentralized AI Architectures, and Intelligent Software Infrastructure - spotlighting the builders redesigning how autonomous systems transform industries and human connection.

Born in Los Angeles. Built for everywhere the future is being made.

Get ready for a high-energy night of storytelling and bold ideas.

The first hour will be all about the pitches — seed stage founders taking the stage to present their startups to top LA VCs. Then the lights will drop and the space will transform into an after-hours vibe, where founders, investors, and community come together to connect and celebrate.
