Pasadena may be the best tech story never told. Still, Pasadena never hits anyone’s radar as a hot tech destination. The goals are straightforward: 1) brand the Greater Pasadena Area a desirable location for tech companies to startup or locate, and 2) encourage collaboration among companies.

Anna Barber: Before this, I hadn't been involved with Techstars as a mentor, however, I'd been an entrepreneur and mentored at other accelerators. However, I always wanted to get into a broader role in the startup ecosystem, where I could help other entrepreneurs work on their ideas. That's both a challenge and an opportunity.

As a Pasadena Angel, I wanted to be shocked, but I wasn’t. The entrepreneurs in startups are trained to go fast and run lean. I’m personally aware of several TCA and Pasadena Angels members who are actively investing, and then sponsoring companies at their respective groups. The Angel funding process can be arduous.

One of the major trends I’ve outlined is this movement of entrepreneurs (and as a lagging indicator venture funds) to more urban environments. In LA companies used to be concentrated near Pasadena or in the San Fernando Valley. And it’s not just the movement from Palo Alto to San Francisco. These days it’s Santa Monica and Venice.

He was a life-long entrepreneur and the first business he created out of college (actually, he founded it while he was at Caltech) was a company that manufactured high quality audio speakers. Too many entrepreneurs focus on dilution. The idea actually came to him from the Yellow Pages business. They are very hands on.
