Building a breakthrough company requires the same unwavering focus as training for the Olympics.
Most people see the podium moments—we're here for the 5 AM sessions, the strategic pivots, the mental toughness that actually creates champions.
Co-presented with JP Morgan, SPIKE Series brings together the people who understand that peak performance isn't just about sports:
it's about building the future.
You've felt it at those typical tech events—surface-level conversations, pitch competitions that miss the point, networking that goes nowhere.
Everyone's talking about "disruption" but few understand what it actually takes to build something that lasts.
Athletes know better. They understand that excellence isn't an event—it's a practice. They know that the real work happens when nobody's watching.
They know that mindset separates winners from participants.
So do the founders and investors we're bringing together.
Our team has delivered innovative solutions to these global leaders.
It's where Olympic-level discipline meets venture-scale opportunity.
Where former athletes building companies connect with investors who understand what peak performance actually looks like.
We're building Los Angeles's premier ecosystem for people who know the difference between trying hard and training smart.
This is for:
No random networking. Every person here has demonstrated excellence in their field and understands what it takes to perform when it matters most.
We skip the startup theater. Our discussions focus on the real challenges: building resilient teams, making decisions under pressure, and maintaining focus through inevitable setbacks.
This isn't about quick connections. We're creating lasting relationships between people who share the same approach to excellence—whether they're building companies, managing portfolios, or training for their next competition.
In March 2026 we produced a five hour SPIKE track inside an early stage VC conference co-hosted by Techstars, with more than 10,000 attendees. Five panels, built around the questions founders and investors actually argue about:
The New Sports Economy: how tech and capital are reshaping the game
Kill Your Assumptions Before Investors Do
Athletes Who Invest: how elite competitors evaluate startups
De-Risking Innovation: how venture studios, corporate arms and government funds build portfolios
The GTM Gap: why great products fail
Between the flagship events we run quarterly Practice Sessions, so the relationships keep working instead of resetting every time. The next Los Angeles edition is in September 2026, invitation only, 60 to 80 curated decision makers.
We are open to partnership. There are three ways to take part: community membership (invite only), event sponsorship (multi year brand positioning toward LA28, speaking slots, co-marketing), and Featured Innovator slots for selected startups (panel and demo time, investor and enterprise introductions). Use the form below to tell us what you have in mind.
Real conversations about what it takes to build sustainable excellence, whether you're training for gold or building for Exit.
Connections with people who understand that success isn't luck—it's preparation meeting opportunity, consistently executed over time.
Frameworks and insights you can actually implement, from people who've proven they work under pressure.
Los Angeles is becoming the epicenter of sports innovation. The 2028 Olympics. The evolving media landscape. The convergence of technology and athletics.
But ecosystems don't build themselves.
As a founding contributor to SPIKE Series, you're not just attending events—you're helping create the standard for how champions in different fields recognize and support each other.
You're positioning yourself at the center of something that's about to become essential.
At M Studio, we have been athletes and sports coaches, and we have worked with sports organizations. We spent over 30 years building innovation ecosystems for everyone from Olympic organizations and Government Agencies to Fortune 500 companies.
We know what it takes to create environments where excellence thrives.
