Entreprenista × Industrious Century City

Entreprenista’s Los Angeles local meetup is a curated in-person room for women business owners inside the national Entreprenista League community. Monday, August 17, 2026, 6:00-8:00 PM PDT at Industrious Century City, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 1700. Local hosts Kellie Chen of 8Rue and Carlyn Bushman of Carlyn Bushman Consulting are gathering founders for peer intros, collaboration talk, and offline network density. Century City’s tower floors stay smaller and more intentional than a mass mixer; expect RSVP screening and a member-community frame.

The Entreprenista League is a national membership community of thousands of women founders who meet online and in local rooms like this one. Kellie Chen co-founded 8Rue, a branding agency focused on beauty, health, and wellness CPG, with experience across brands such as SK-II and Sephora and advisory work with Ulta Beauty’s MUSE Accelerator. Carlyn Bushman founded Carlyn Bushman Consulting and POP Education, helping founders turn AI talk into working business systems; she was a Startup World Cup judge and an Entreprenista EL100 winner. Members may bring a founder friend, and each registrant still needs their own RSVP for headcount. The listing caps the room around 50 attendees.

Women founders who want peer collaboration and operating-level introductions fit this room better than people hunting a 200-person open bar. Skip if you need investor demo time, a mixed-gender chamber expo, or a walk-up tower visit without elevator access. Member versus non-member pricing is modest; the harder constraint is the secured 17th-floor Industrious suite. Light refreshments are included. Westside business-district geography means Century Park East traffic and garage logistics are part of the Monday night, not optional.

Tickets on Luma are listed at about $20 for members and $30 for non-members. Luma places an authorization hold at registration and finalizes once your RSVP is confirmed. Elevator QR access is emailed about two hours before start; if it does not arrive, the main security desk can grant access. Paid parking is in the Watt Plaza garage on Century Park East, with a short free window then hourly rates. Register early enough to clear approval, re-check the confirmation the day of, and do not expect lobby staff to improvise a Suite 1700 list for walk-ups.
