Riviera Partners Joins Forces with The Alliance for SoCal Innovation to Connect Startups with Venture Capital

Riviera Partners has teamed up with The Alliance for Southern California Innovation to support the SoCal Venture Pipeline program. The alliance aims to bridge critical gaps in the SoCal innovation ecosystem by uniting the region's talent and bringing breakthroughs to the world. 

Since its launch in June 2021, the SoCal Venture Pipeline, which serves both Seed and Series A-ready companies, has attracted 778 total applicants with 87 accepted companies of which 24 startups were funded for a total of $112M raised, plus 3 additional companies that were acquired. Since launching in June 2024, the Alliance's new SoCal Catalyst Fund has already co-invested in 4 SVP selected startups.

SoCal-based tech startups that are raising $1M+ of seed or $4M+ of Series A institutional capital and meet the guidelines can apply here.
