Get matched with the right Seed and Series A investors.
Since 2015, companies in this program have raised +$650M
Are you raising a Seed or Series A round of funding ($1M to 4M+) in the next 6 to 12 months? The SoCal Venture Pipeline program selects SoCal entrepreneurs raising institutional funding and directly introduces them to capital providers from our deep nationwide relationship network.
We take no fees, equity or compensation from startups. The program is generously underwritten by Pacific Western Bank, as well as Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and KPPB LLP. When you’re fabulously successful, we will brag about you.
Why are we doing this? We are committed to ensuring that entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and SoCal communities have access to capital and opportunity. The SVP program’s primary goal is to fix the access gap that is holding back entrepreneurs in need of additional capital who don’t currently have access to the right network of investors to help them continue to grow and thrive. We are also giving nationwide investors access to the unparalleled innovation network within SoCal — the value goes both ways!

Their team was able to quickly understand the problem we’re solving and made an impactful introduction within the entertainment industry to City National Bank’s Venture Fund.”
