LB Growth Collective · 562
Long Beach builds things.
So do we.
From the Queen Mary to the Pike, from Pine Avenue to Cambodia Town, from aerospace hangars to taco trucks on PCH, this city ships. LB Growth Collective is the room where the people building it trade notes.
Help Long Beach become a real founder city.
LA gets the press. SF gets the capital. Long Beach has the operators, the space (literally - Space Beach), the working harbor, and an appetite that's been here the whole time. The Collective exists to compound what's already in the 562: weekly office hours in downtown LB, monthly working sessions, founder-to-founder intros, and the kind of unfiltered war stories you only hear over a beer at The Pike.
- First-time founders pre-PMF
- Brick-and-mortar operators
- Operators between roles
- LB-based investors + advisors
Monthly in-person sessions in downtown Long Beach. Async between. No pitching, no panels - just operators trading what's working.
Pacific breeze. Working harbor. Aerospace lineage. The kind of city where the people building the future actually grew up here - and stayed.
We keep groups small and signal high. Tell us a little about what you're building in LB and we'll be in touch about the next session.
