Where Los Angeles founders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and small business owners come to build what lasts.
About this Event
BUILT TO L.A.ST.
The Los Angeles entrepreneur summit for founders, creatives, and small business owners building for longevity, impact, and legacy.
WE’RE BACK—AND BIGGER THAN EVER.
Following a successful inaugural Summit, Hustle & Heart Collective—in partnership with FOUND/LA and with media amplification from mitú—is proud to present the 2026 Hustle & Heart Entrepreneur Summit, returning with more speakers, more workshops, more opportunities to connect, and an even greater commitment to supporting Los Angeles entrepreneurs.
This year’s theme, BUILT TO L.A.ST., is about building beyond the moment. It celebrates entrepreneurs creating businesses designed not only to launch, but to endure—businesses that can adapt, create long-term stability, support families, strengthen communities, and become lasting legacies.
Formerly known as the Eastside Hustle & Heart Entrepreneur Summit, this year’s event reflects the continued growth of our community and the expanding mission of Hustle & Heart Collective, a Latina-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners.
Whether you’re launching your first venture, growing an established business, or looking to expand your network, the 2026 Summit is designed to equip you with practical tools, actionable insights, and meaningful connections.
Spend the day learning from experienced founders, industry leaders, and subject-matter experts through engaging keynote conversations, hands-on workshops, and dynamic panel discussions covering entrepreneurship, branding, finance, marketing, leadership, procurement, community impact, and sustainable business growth.
More than a conference, the Hustle & Heart Entrepreneur Summit is a space where ideas become action, relationships become partnerships, and entrepreneurs become part of a community that believes lasting success is built together.
Join hundreds of founders, business owners, creatives, professionals, and community leaders for a day of learning, inspiration, and collaboration as we continue building a stronger, more connected entrepreneurial ecosystem across Los Angeles.
Come ready to learn. Leave inspired to build something that lasts.
