StrictlyVC LA drops June 18. Ethan Thornton, founder of Mach Industries, will speak on "Built for a New Era of Defense Technology," examining the structural shift in defense innovation where autonomy, manufacturing, and national security converge.
Delian Asparouhov from Founders Fund is joining Saif Khawaja of Shinkei Systems to discuss physical AI—robotics, automation, and breakthrough technology reshaping the real world.
The event takes place at The Aerospace Corporation Campus in El Segundo. Organisers describe it as an intimate gathering rather than a panel-heavy conference, with networking as the primary focus. More speakers are being announced in the coming weeks.
