Guide to the LA Startup Community
- Cmccann7 16y agoWe wrote this in response to the HN discussion "Ask HN: Best Startup City - Outside the USA?" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1565375 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1565375 The blog post is a profile of the Los Angeles startup scene, who you should meet, and what you should do there if you are thinking of moving or visiting the city.
- hristov 16y agoI am glad the LA startup scene is getting some attention. But lets put more stress on an up and coming companies not already failed ones (you know which one I am talking about).

- whalesalad 16y agoI'm embarrassed by the LA scene. A majority of that post is Mahalo, which doesn't count, or companies who have already made it. MySpace isn't really a great item either. Let's put it this way... I wouldn't go work for any of those companies.
- Cmccann7 16y agoIf you are ever in LA again I would go by CoLoft. It is the first co-working space ever in LA and has about 40 startups all working in the same space. It's the first time LA's ever had a real sense of community and I felt the vibe changing for the better.
- andrewvc 16y agoGlad to see LA getting some press, as a reminder, the LA HN meetup is tomorrow: http://groups.google.com/group/los-angeles-hners-hacker-news/browse_thread/thread/9e696086d2ce014 http://groups.google.com/group/los-angeles-hners-hacker-news...
- yef 16y agoOverture is the best example of a successful startup from LA. Acquired for $1.63 billion by Yahoo, and they invented the business model that Google improved upon and made Google what they are today.
