Both Sides of the Table
OCTOBER 8, 2014
Given how efficient markets are when a large market like LA starts to blossom it attracts capital pretty quickly. billion in venture capital to LA’s technology startups and 2014 will shatter that figure.

Funding is different – In Silicon Valley you have mega venture capital funds and many of them. LA produced Applied Semantics that created AdSense and was bought by Google. You don’t have a pool of thousands of Google engineers to hire when they’re ready to leave the mother ship. You don’t.
This is going to be BIG.
