About 👋

LA Related is built on a simple belief: Los Angeles deserves better coverage. Not the Hollywood headlines or the traffic takes, but the real stuff. The founder launching out of Culver City. The gallery opening in Highland Park. The networking dinner that leads to your next big opportunity.

We launched Schmoozd.com in 2009 and spent the next decade-plus in the trenches, organizing over 200+ events, attending hundreds more, and building a community of 20,000+ readers who trust us to cut through the noise. We've shaken hands, shared meals, and traded ideas with the people who make LA move.

LA Related is the next chapter. Everything we've learned, everything we've seen, shared openly — for the founders grinding, the creatives building, and the professionals who chose this city because they believe in what it can be.

Some weeks, it’s where to go.
Some weeks, it’s who to watch.
Some weeks, it’s what’s quietly emerging before everyone else catches on.

And sometimes, it goes beyond LA, because what happens here doesn’t stay here. It influences what’s next.

If you care about being in the room, not hearing about it after…
If you want to discover before it’s obvious…
If you believe the best of LA isn’t always the loudest…
