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. Then we curate the room around you. ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ-๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ญโ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฒ๐๐-๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐บ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐. You walk in already knowing who they are, why they fit, and what to talk about. Expect to meet: technical cofounders ยท founders seeking complementary operators ยท senior engineers ready for the right mission ยท product leaders and operators ยท investors and connectors in the LA ecosystem. No awkward networking. No LinkedIn connections you'll never message. No "what do you do?" ๐ข๐๐ฟ ๐ด๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฒ: ๐ถ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐, ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ. ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐, ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ.

The Say-Do Gap: Why Execution Breaks Downโand How to Fix It
Fri, Aug 7, 3:15 PMJoin 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 isnโt just costlyโit 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 paperโbut 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 whatโs 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 habitโrecording what was planned, what actually happened, and what comes nextโevolved into a lightweight system he now calls the โSay-Do Gap,โ and a tool he describes as a โProject 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 theoryโitโs a practical framework for anyone who wants to execute more effectively in the real world. Whether youโre leading a team, building a company, or simply trying to execute more effectively in your own work, youโll 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 transactionsโincluding licensing agreements, research partnerships, and M&Aโwith 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.
