The future is agentic—and it’s happening in Orange County.
Join Tech Coast Venture Network (TCVN) and presenting sponsor CloneForce for Survivor 13, a high-energy, radically inclusive startup pitch competition taking place during Octane’s OC Innovation Week.
Join them Wednesday, April 22 from 5:00PM to 9:00PM at The Cove at UC Irvine, 5270 California Ave #100, Irvine, CA 92617.
This year’s theme: Agentic AI—featuring founders building autonomous systems, multi-agent workflows, and the next generation of scalable AI platforms. We’re entering the era of the “1p1b” founder (one person, billion-dollar company), and this is where that future takes center stage.

Open Mic Lightning Pitches (FREE with ticket): Any attendee can pitch—no application required
Elimination-Style Competition: Top founders advance through 3 rounds
Agentic AI Focus: Autonomous workflows, multi-agent systems, and real execution-capable AI
Golden Skull Trophy + Prizes: Cash via Fund a Founder + $10K+ in services
Investors in Attendance: In collaboration with Born in California UC Demo Day & Innovators & Investors Forum

Investors looking for the next breakout platform
Operators, engineers, and AI enthusiasts
Anyone looking to meet co-founders, customers, or capital
