We're kicking off 2026 with the USC Venture & Tech Meetup—bringing together Trojans in venture capital, startups, and entrepreneurship across the Bay Area.
Join us for an intimate fireside chat with Max Mullen, USC alum and co-founder of Instacart, as he shares the journey of building one of the most iconic consumer startups of the last decade.
What Max will cover:
✌️ His path from USC to Silicon Valley and the early days of Instacart
✌️ Lessons from scaling a company from zero to IPO
✌️ Building culture and navigating critical inflection points
✌️ How his founder experience informs his approach to angel investing
After the conversation, we'll open the room for networking with fellow USC founders, operators, investors, and technologists.
Whether you're building a company, backing founders, or exploring the startup ecosystem, this event is designed to spark meaningful conversation and strengthen our Trojan network.
Big thanks to our friends at Silicon Valley Bank for generously supporting us with space and beverages.
✌️💛❤️
Fight On—we'll see you there.
Miles & Kevin
