Defense Tech, AI, and Fundraising Take Center Stage at StrictlyVC Los Angeles on June 18
With just two weeks to go, StrictlyVC Los Angeles is set to take place on Thursday, June 18, at The Aerospace Corporation Campus in El Segundo. The evening will bring together investors, founders, and technology leaders for conversations focused on the most consequential shifts in venture capital, defense technology, artificial intelligence, and advanced industry.
The event is designed for executives navigating a rapidly changing technology landscape. StrictlyVC offers direct access to the people building, funding, and shaping the next generation of companies. The conversations are candid, the audience is highly curated, and the insights extend beyond headlines, podcasts, or social media feeds.
The evening begins with Ethan Thornton, founder of Mach Industries. In his session, “Built for a New Era of Defense Technology,” Thornton will share his perspective on building a hard tech company at speed and how advances in autonomy, manufacturing, and national security are transforming the defense sector. His story reflects a broader movement of founders tackling ambitious challenges in industries undergoing rapid change.
The conversation continues with Delian Asparouhov of Founders Fund and Saif Khawaja of Shinkei Systems. Together, they will discuss the rise of physical AI and how developments in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence are creating new opportunities to transform the physical world. Their discussion will offer insight into what it takes to build and scale breakthrough technologies beyond software alone.
Also joining the lineup is Carter Reum, co-founder and partner at M13. In his session, “Finding the Next Big Thing,” Reum will explore how AI is reshaping industries and how investors are moving beyond short-term hype to identify companies built for long-term durability. He will share his perspective on where innovation is creating the most meaningful opportunities and how venture investing is evolving as new categories emerge.
Beyond the conversations on stage, StrictlyVC Los Angeles is designed to bring together the people driving innovation across technology and venture capital. Throughout the evening, attendees will have opportunities to connect with founders, investors, and operators in an environment that encourages meaningful discussion and the exchange of ideas.
