Pay attention to what Los Angeles entrepreneurs are doing, it's going to be an interesting 2011.

That’s typically not the case in Los Angeles. Challenge #3 – There Needs to Be More Institutional Capital in Los Angeles.

I see it first hand in Los Angeles where given the growth of YouTube networks the worlds of art & technology are colliding. The costs of building a company have gone down dramatically, from $5 million to get to launch in the late 90’s to $500,000 (or even lower) today for web companies. I’m sure there’s a lot of truth to that.
