Most founders build the opposite way. They find cofounders through friends. Hire from resumes. Meet people at networking events. Six months later they're building with someone who moves at a different frequency,and friction shows up where they needed momentum. This night was built to change that. On August 24th,Mamba Day,we're gathering LA's builders around one man's standard. Not to network. To become. A celebration of Kobe Bryant and excellence in business, on the day that carries both his numbers. Before you arrive, we get to know how you build,not just what you've built. A short founder profile maps how you make decisions, your ninety-day milestone, and your exact bottleneck.

The Say-Do Gap: Why Execution Breaks Downโ€”and How to Fix It

The Say-Do Gap: Why Execution Breaks Downโ€”and How to Fix It

Fri, Aug 7, 3:15 PM
From Friday Coffee Meetup
4.8

Join us for a candid and highly practical session with Dr. Dmitri Kossakovski, an engineering and business leader who has spent his career working in environments where execution failure isnโ€™t just costlyโ€”it can derail products, delay critical systems, and cost companies their competitive edge. From NASA/JPL to Fortune 500 companies to venture-backed startups, Dmitri has operated at the intersection of deep technology and real-world delivery across domains including automotive, medtech, sensors, and advanced materials. And across all of these environments, he kept seeing the same pattern: Teams that look productive on paperโ€”but quietly drift off course week after week. Plans are made. Status updates are shared. Progress appears to be happening. But underneath it all, the gap between whatโ€™s said and what actually gets done continues to widen. Instead of accepting this as the norm, Dmitri began tracking that gap. What started as a simple weekly habitโ€”recording what was planned, what actually happened, and what comes nextโ€”evolved into a lightweight system he now calls the โ€œSay-Do Gap,โ€ and a tool he describes as a โ€œProject Reality Ledger.โ€ In this session, Dr. Kossakovski will break down the methodology behind the Say-Do approach, explain why simple tracking habits often outperform complex project management systems, and share what he learned building a product on nights and weekends while leading high-stakes R&D organizations. This is not a talk about theoryโ€”itโ€™s a practical framework for anyone who wants to execute more effectively in the real world. Whether youโ€™re leading a team, building a company, or simply trying to execute more effectively in your own work, youโ€™ll walk away with a practical approach you can apply immediately. *** ## **About the Speaker** Dr. Dmitri Kossakovski works at the intersection of deep technology and strategic business development, with over 20 years of experience spanning R&D leadership, technology partnerships, licensing, and M&A. He holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Caltech and an MS in Applied Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, along with an Executive MBA from the Drucker School. His career spans NASA/JPL, Fortune 500 companies, and venture-backed startups across domains including semiconductor materials, advanced coatings, thermal systems, sensors, and medical devices. On the business side, he has negotiated more than 25 transactionsโ€”including licensing agreements, research partnerships, and M&Aโ€”with organizations such as MIT, KAIST, Kyocera, Infineon, the DOE, and DARPA. He co-founded Pacific Scanning Corp (acquired by Agilent Technologies) and was part of the leadership team behind a successful exit at iGlass Technology. He currently contributes to strategic investment initiatives in medical innovation and serves on the boards of multiple startups. He is the author of 30+ U.S. patents.
