LA Founders ... at the table
Fri, May 29, 12:00 AMhttps://luma.com/lafounders-may28 Monthly meetup built for founders who actually want to build, together. No panels, no fluff. Just real conversations, live product demos, and direct access to people who can move your company forward. If you’re looking to collaborate, get feedback, and accelerate what you’re building, this is where you show up. The Breakout Where founders step out of the crowd and into focused, high-impact sessions to build, connect, and move ideas forward. Demo Table What: A dedicated space for founders to showcase their product, prototype, or idea in real time. How: Set up at a table (3x3 round table), give quick walkthroughs, and get immediate feedback from other founders, operators, and potential collaborators. Sit with an Investor What: Small-group of 3, informal sessions with active investors open to hearing what you’re building. How: Rotate through timed seating, pitch your idea, ask questions, and get direct insight on what actually gets funded. Sit with an AI Developer What: Access to technical builders who can help you think through AI integration, product features, or feasibility. How: Bring your idea or challenge, sit in small groups of 3, and workshop solutions with developers who can help you move faster. Sit with a Pitch Coach What: A focused session for founders to sharpen their pitch, story, and overall presentation.

From Months to Days: How AI Is Rewriting Commercial Production
Fri, Jun 5, 3:15 PMJoin us for a behind-the-scenes look at how AI is transforming commercial production—and what it takes to build creative systems that actually perform. Jethro Rothe-Kushel is the Founder & CEO of Ritual Ads, a studio using AI to take brands from concept to finished commercial in days—not months—while improving performance through rapid iteration and real-time analytics. After more than 20 years producing major campaigns for brands like Google, Apple, and Amazon, Jethro saw firsthand how slow, expensive, and inefficient traditional production could be. Instead of accepting that model, he built something different. At Ritual Ads, the commercial production process is reimagined end-to-end—using AI to move from storyboard to finished spot in days, not months, while enabling faster iteration, real-time testing, and stronger performance. In this session, Jethro will break down how this approach works in practice, including: * How AI is compressing the timeline of commercial production * Why more iteration leads to better creative outcomes * What a modern “creative + performance” stack actually looks like * Lessons learned building and scaling a system designed for speed, consistency, and results This is a practical, real-world look at how advertising is evolving—and what builders, marketers, creatives, operators, and investors need to understand to stay ahead. *** ### **About the Speaker** Jethro Rothe-Kushel is the Founder & CEO of Ritual Ads, a studio using AI to take brands from concept to finished commercial with speed, precision, and measurable performance. He brings over 20 years of experience across film, television, and advertising, having produced major campaigns for leading brands including Apple, Netflix, American Express, Google, and Amazon. He is a former VP of the Producers Guild of America, representing thousands of top producers nationwide. Earlier in his career, Jethro documented the lives of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles—work that contributed to major public funding efforts and long-term housing initiatives. That experience continues to inform his belief in storytelling as a force for real-world change. Today, he leads Ritual Ads at the intersection of AI and storytelling, helping brands move faster while staying authentic and effective. *** **Networking** Come early to connect with fellow founders, technologists, creatives, and community members. Friday Coffee Meetup is as much about the people in the room as it is about the conversation on stage.
