I believe that Twiistup is now a platform from which to grow and highlight what is uniquely LA. There are now a second generation of entrepreneurs and companies that have learned from their last successes and are producing great new companies like TopSpin Media , Sometrics and GumGum. Much of this was highlighted at Twiistup.

The new era of highly connected and interactive technology is changing not only how business employees interact with customers, but also how they interact with each other, and with their company. I am happy to see reports that young companies are in the forefront of these trends, on both the customer trends and the employee trends.

In all my time investing I have never seen such a senior revenue officer join a company at this stage. To watch a young company win 1,000+ seat deals at Global 100 companies at this stage of development has been simply stunning. If you’re a consumer software company your buyer is your user.
