In particular, funding for companies developing deep technology--software and cloud, as opposed to content and media--seems to be lacking. There is a really genuine and real opportunity in the intersection of media and entertainment technology here in Los Angeles, and people are focused here on that for a legitimate reason.

Last year’s passé terms that even entrepreneurs cringe at (and the best are embarrassed to lead with) are social network, social media and social games. I recently gave talks at Caltech & Stanford. I hope they are because badges will run their course. I guess “social&# is just soooo last year.

That's funding our new product, FanMix, which is a a social media tool. I was really into graphic design in high school, and took several summer workshops at Caltech. Later on, we can add upsells for community managers and social media marketers. We scaled that to almost $1.4 It's actually uncommon to have a female CTO.

He showed me the prototype, we flushed it out, and figured out what Miso Media could really end up being. I spent almost two years there.

What were those and how is that changing now given how things are changing in social media? I'm working quite a bit with startups who are leveraging social media, but I'm finding it hard to predict success and metrics. And how can an early stage company think about social media relative to important startup metrics (see [link] )?

At the Twiistup panel last week, there was a debate over whether big companies could be created here, which is ridiculous--Demand Media is the latest example there, we've got Cornerstone OnDemand coming out soon, and there is no question there are market leading, large revenue companies coming out of Southern California.
