🌴 One Week Left for Ambition Summit

👋 I’m Justin. I run The LA Grind and The SF Grind, host the Ambition Podcast, and scout for Headline.

One week from today, 150 founders, operators, and investors will be in a room in Santa Monica for the very first Ambition Summit.

If you want to be there, and haven’t already gotten your ticket, now is the time.

Unsure if you should come? Here's who's already in the room:

• A founder who raised $90M+ building a connected fitness company, backed by Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather

• A founding partner at a $300M hardtech VC fund, previously CFO of a company that scaled from $70M to $3B+ and sold to Amazon

• A founder backed by Tiger Global and Jay-Z's Marcy Venture Partners, building agentic marketing tools

• A partner at one of Australia's leading VC funds, with portfolio companies like Canva, who relocates to LA every year to invest here

• A founder who bootstrapped a B2B community and conference business to $2.2M in revenue

• A former founder whose crowdfunding platform helped families raise $200M+, now running an early-stage VC fund

• A founder who just raised a $10.5M seed to build the trust layer for the age of AI

I could go on and on. 55% of the room is founders, 20% investors, and 37% of those founders are already doing $500K+ in revenue. Many are doing millions in revenue or have already raised millions in VC.

They'll be joining Shivani Siroya (Tala), Rick Smith (Crosscut), Dara Ladjevardian (Delphi), Mehul Nariyawala (Matic), Dee Murthy (Ghost), Jessica Chang (Upwards), Jo Phillips (Payabli), and Shamin Walsh (BAM Ventures) on stage.

VIP and Service Provider tickets are almost gone.
