Day Two of the dot.LA Summit Features Bill Gurley, GOAT Group and the Inaugural Startup Awards

Silicon Valley's top dealmaker Bill Gurley will keynote the second day of dot.LA's inaugural conference at 9 a.m., followed by two tracks of panels focused on L.A.'s growing startup and tech scene. dot.LA will also announce the winners of its first Startup Awards celebrating the region's most innovative people and companies.

Watch all the panels at the dot.LA Summit website. There's still time to sign up for the conference here.

The event will showcase the people, technology and ideas that shape how we live and have defined dot.LA's coverage since it launched in January. The organization was founded by former Zillow co-founder Spencer Rascoff and dot.LA's CEO Sam Adams with the goal of shining a light on Los Angeles' burgeoning and diverse tech scene.

Kevin Mayer, the former head of TikTok had been scheduled for the event's keynote speaker, but cancelled on the advice of his lawyers shortly before the summit. TikTok, owned by Chinese internet company ByteDance, is embroiled in a battle with the Trump administration that seeks to shut it down.

Sarah Harden, CEO of Hello Sunshine and Liz Jenkins, CFO will open up the summit on Tuesday with a discussion about how small celebrity-driven production companies are transforming the traditional Hollywood machine and adding diversity.

Other speakers include the electronic music duo The Chainsmokers who founded venture fund Mantis, Headspace CEO Rich Pierson. Blavity founder and CEO Morgan DeBaun, Sweetgreen co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman, Suma Wealth co-founder and CEO Beatriz Acevedo and Jesse Jacobs, co-founder and partner of The Chernin Group.

dot.LA will hold its pitch competition finale for early-stage startups at the end of the first day of the Summit. More than 100 companies with a product and less than $1 million in hand competed to get in the final stage. The pitches will be judged by Anna Barber, Managing Director of Techstars Los Angeles, and Rascoff, who most recently helped establish Supernova Partners Acquisition Company. The winner will receive special access to Amazon Web Services, Fenwick, Full Stack Finance and Carta.
