StartupStarter is a platform that encourages a new world of investors as well as educates new founders to leap into entrepreneurship. Started in 2020 by Jose Barrera and Lorel Scott, their grasp on tech tools to communicate and inform has made the platform a huge success. Due to the demand of their audience to host a live event came the idea for Investment Week. Now in its second year, CEO, Joseph Barrera shared, “We didn’t want to host just another classroom style listen and drink coffee event, our vision was to bring innovation to the presentations. By integrating art and tech we believe we have created an electric space that has been instrumental in the success of deals created last year and what we look forward to this year.”
Investors taking the stage include famed publicist turned blockchain trailblazer and investor, Michael Terpin, as well as Marlon Nichols, the VC behind companies like Pipe, Blavity, and Macro, which was named one of Fast Company’s 10 Most Innovative Companies in Hollywood.

Other featured speakers and companies include executives from Disney, NBCUniversal, Toonstar, the Web3 animation studio that recently made news for partnering with Mila Kunis to launch a Solana-based series, NASA, Gemini, Techstars, and Snapchat’s former Chief Strategy Officer, Imran Khan, who led the company through its IPO and also led the IPO for Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba.
