Los Angeles Venture Association
LAVA is the oldest, most successful organization focused on financing companies from start to exit. Since 1985, the Los Angeles Venture Association has been providing forums where entrepreneurs and executives of start-up, emerging growth, and late-stage venture-funded companies actively meet and learn from fellow executives, investors, bankers, financial advisors, and other providers of professional services. Our extensive slate of monthly meetings, Distinguished Speakers Lectures feature exceptional presentations by prominent members of our investment, entrepreneurial, business, and academic communities. Our annual Meet the VC conference and frequent strategic interest group meetings are our region's premier forums on investment capital. We also co-produce events with many of our affiliated organizations.
