The LA technology scene has come along way in the last few years. This deck offers a comprehensive overview of the Los Angeles technology and venture landscape in 2018. It covers the players, investors, history and future of LA tech, as well as leading sectors such as e-commerce, online media, e-sports, VR & AR, aerospace, gaming and more.
This mapping project of the LA tech scene by Amplify.LA identifies some of the early talent flows that helped build many of the now tentpole LA technology startups. The companies we’ve identified in the presentation below have led to over $5 billion in total funding, 14,000 jobs, and 250 spinoff companies. The impact that these early companies have had on the LA tech scene is substantial.
Mapping the early LA tech landscape has been a lengthy project for us. We’ve interviewed many of our mentors and scoured the internet in order to uncover some of the early founders and companies that built LA’s tech scene over the last two decades. As a next step, we’ve decided to open up the project to all of you in the LA community. If there’s anything or anyone we missed, please let us know by contributing to the project here.
Amplify is a pre-seed fund based in Venice, CA. Over the last 6 years, Amplify has backed 75 companies, which together have gone on to raise over half a billion dollars in funding, with exits to Apple, Google, and FanDuel, among others.
Unicorns are no longer the stuff of legend — not the fanciful equines marked with elegant wings and prominent horns. Instead, at the mention of the term “unicorn”, the Silicon Valley tech startups valued between $1 and $10 billion, is evoked.

2016 was a standout year for entrepreneurs in the GGV Capital ecosystem. Our portfolio companies collectively completed more than $26 billion of M&A and IPO activity, raised more than $10 billion to fuel global expansion, and completed one new IPO (BC Pharma in China).
The year also marked expansion on a number of fronts for our firm. We announced the launch of GGV Capital Fund VI and our Discovery Fund with more than $1.2 billion in commitments. A big thank you to our Limited Partners for their continued support. Second, we added 16 new members to the GGV Capital team across the U.S. and China.

Hong Kong rated by Forbes as the first amongst four cities after New York (#1 Hong Kong, #2 Washington D.C., #3 Tel Aviv, #4 London) that is most likely to follow the footstep of Silicon Valley to become an innovation and technology hub.

The IPO Window Reopens:
We finally saw the IPO window crack open in Q3 2016, as proceeds from technology M&A are leaving investors flush with cash to reinvest and driving demand for IPOs and follow-on offerings.
In this third-quarter update on State of the Markets, my team analyzed investment and exit data to identify key trends impacting clients:
1. The number of IPOs exceeded private IPOs for the first time since Q2 2013, as crossover investors’ interest in large pre-IPO financings dropped off.
2. In the U.S., the pace of unicorn exits in Q3 exceeded new entrants.
3. After plummeting in the first half of 2016, values of publicly traded unicorns showed signs of recovery.
Learn more by reading the new State of the Markets report. As with any review of the markets, conditions can turn quickly. We are, however, confident that the fundamentals driving innovation will be strong through the end of 2016.
