About

AREA is a private event by Schmoozd, bringing together the people who make LA’s startup community worth being part of.

Founders building from zero. Investors backing what’s next. Speakers sharing what they’ve learned the hard way. Executives and influencers who’ve shaped the ecosystem and keep showing up to make it better.

No panels. No pitch decks. Just the right people in the right room — talking honestly, connecting meaningfully, and leaving with something they didn’t expect.

AREA is invitation-only. Not to be exclusive for the sake of it, but because the best conversations happen when everyone in the room has earned their seat.
