You’re Building in Security — But Are You in the Room?
Hey,
Bea here — founder of Bautista Brands Marketing, creator of The Security Stack, and someone who lives at the intersection of the startup world and the security industry.
Let me cut straight to it:
If you're building something for the physical security space — maybe it's AI for surveillance, access control tech, or infrastructure resilience — but you’ve never actually sat across the table from the professionals who live this stuff every day, then you're already at a disadvantage.
I see it all the time.
Brilliant founders trying to reinvent a system that already exists.
Promising products that miss key requirements.
Investors backing tools that never get implemented.
Not because the tech is bad but because they're not in the right rooms.
That’s Why I Created the Founders & Innovators Table
This December, at the ASIS SoCal Security Holiday Party, I’ve reserved a table for ten people I believe need to be there.
This party isn’t a tech conference.
It’s not an investor mixer.
It’s a gathering of some of the most experienced physical security professionals on the West Coast — people who run GSOCs, lead EP teams, spec out multimillion-dollar systems, and influence the future of law enforcement, defense, and critical infrastructure.
In short: your future customers, partners, and field experts are here.
And if you want to build something that actually works.... and actually sells! this is where you learn what matters.
Who This Is For:
✅ Startup founders building in security, defense, GovTech, or critical infrastructure
✅ Builders working on threat detection, surveillance, access control, or smart cities
✅ Investors or advisors looking for insight into real-world field challenges
✅ Anyone who’s serious about getting their product into the hands of people who need it
This table is not for service vendors trying to pitch their wares.
It’s not for lurkers.
It’s for builders.
What You Get:
A $47 subsidized ticket (instead of $150+)
A reserved seat at our curated 10-person table
A custom name tent with your name and company
A private post-event roundtable invite
Early access to future Security Stack events and meetups
This is what I call high-signal networking.
No fluff. No pitching. Just real conversation with people who’ve been on the ground and in the control room.
Why This Matters Right Now:
Every time I talk to founders building in this space, I ask:
"Who did you talk to before you started building?"
Nine times out of ten, the answer is “no one.”
Or “a friend who used to work in law enforcement.”
Or “we just researched competitors.”
That’s not enough.
Security is a field where context is everything.
It’s where knowing why something is done a certain way will save you six months of backtracking.
And it’s where getting just one insight from a seasoned operator could reshape your roadmap.
That’s the kind of insight this table is built for.
Only 10 Seats
This is not a mass invite.
It’s a hand-picked group of people who I believe are building something important.
If that’s you — I want you at this table.
👉 Apply below.
If accepted, I’ll send you the private payment link and all the details you’ll need.
Let’s build something that works.
Let’s build it with the right people.
And let’s stop guessing at what the field actually wants.
See you on the Midway,
– Bea
