StrictlyVC Is Invading Los Angeles (Oh Joy)
Alright, listen up. In just three damn weeks, StrictlyVC is rolling into Los Angeles, because apparently what LA really needs right now is more venture capitalists flying in to talk about “disruption” while sipping something overpriced. TechCrunch is hyping up their latest VC circle-jerk — a live event where investors, founders, and assorted tech bros gather to network, posture, and pretend they totally saw the last big startup boom coming. Spoiler: they didn’t.
The whole point of StrictlyVC is supposedly “real talk” with top investors and operators — you know, panels and conversations about where the money’s going, what’s hot, what’s dead, and which AI startup is going to burn $50 million before quietly disappearing. If you’re a founder, this is where you go to smile politely while VCs explain your own business model back to you, incorrectly.
It’s invite-only, naturally, because nothing says “open ecosystem” like shutting the damn doors and letting only the cool kids in. Expect networking, insider chatter, and a lot of self-congratulation about how important everyone in the room thinks they are. Still, if you’re into the VC scene — or just want free drinks and a chance to overhear some wildly overconfident predictions — this is your circus.

Anyway, this whole thing reminds me of the time I watched a room full of executives argue for 30 minutes because the Wi-Fi was down — turns out none of those visionary fuckers knew how to reboot a router. Good luck, LA. Try not to trip over the egos.
