2018 LA Tech & Venture Scene | Amplify.LAEric Pakravan
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.
2019 LA Tech & Venture Scene | Amplify.LA Eric Pakravan
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 2019. 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, logistics, marketplaces, 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.
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.
A terrific thought-leadership piece on: The power of Silicon Valley's billion-dollar unicorns, and the shift to venture capitalists providing the main fuel for American innovation.

People are slowly beginning to realize that the times, they are a-changing. When it comes to the future of work and automation, it’s not a question of how, but when. We usually only react when it’s already too late. But this time, the writings on the wall are too overwhelming to just ignore them.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that you should stock up on guns, build a shelter and prepare for Skynet. But it’s probably a good idea to at least start considering the idea that things might change faster than you think. And in the end, we would hate to say we told you so. So start preparing right now with these 6 crucial tips to survive the second machine age.
What's Wrong with the Silicon Valley Growth Model (Extended UCL Lecture)Tim O'Reilly
A three part lecture for the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London. I talk about how the Silicon Valley growth model is leading from value creation to rent extraction, then about how public policy shapes our markets and what public policy students can learn from technology platforms (both what they do right and how they go wrong), and finally, I touch on some of the great mission-driven goals that could replace "increasing corporate profits" as the guiding objective of our economy.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for Magic Leap, a provider of smart glass-based Augmented Reality. Unlike other forms of AR that rely on cameras and either smart phones or tablet computers, Magic Leap provides AR in smart glasses. These glasses look like Google Glass, but users see a realistic 3D view that is superimposed on the real world, as seen through the glasses. Magic Leap expects its AR glasses to be used for gaming, education, commerce, and other applications. These slides describe the value proposition, customers, method of value capture, scope of activities and the method of strategic control for Magic Leap.
Magic Leap Pitch (Development, Manufacturing and Launch Plans)Nicholas Ng
This report explores the development, production and launch challenges that Magic Leap may face, and also proposes solutions on how they can potentially overcome them.
Given that Magic Leap is in stealth, most information out there is PR-driven. This report represents over 300 hours of collective research on Magic Leap’s patents (photonics, lightfields, mixed reality etc.), industry knowledge and product risk mitigation analysis to build the best picture I possibly could on Magic Leap and truly add value to readers out there. It’ll be great to hear any feedback.
Contact details are at the end. You can also find out more about me at www.nicholas-ng.com.
The Ultimate Investor Pitch Deck TemplateCrowdfunder
Great startups don’t fund themselves. Raising money from investors requires a great pitch, even for experienced founders with significant traction in their startup.
There’s a formula for pitching your startup that has helped startup founders raise millions.
In short, this formula involves crafting a larger story / narrative, while speaking directly to what investors are looking for and need to know about you, your company, your market, and your plan.

Access to talent — 8.8 million person workforce and 121 campuses of higher education

8. A major force in the entertainment industry
The motion picture/TV production industry employs over 159,900 people, and generates receipts of $55.9 billion
