As much as the idea of "Silicon Beach" wants to represent the whole of the local technology industry in Los Angeles, there are -- as one would expect in such a large metropolitan area -- many different neighborhoods and communities spread across the region, all with their own individual identities, companies, and technology focuses.

In what looks to be a challenging funding climate for entrepreneurs, we thought it would be interesting to talk to one fund which is still making investments--Saban Ventures (www.saban.com)--a new, digital media focused venture capital fund located in Los Angeles. I also grew up in Southern California, where I also went to business school.

I believe that it is part of the DNA of an entrepreneur – being so competitive that you’re practically sick when you lose. Entrepreneurs are neurotic about it. They had a prominent NorCal investor already so I thought a SoCal lead would make sense – that I could help them in a more hands-on way.

It's kind of like doing employee reviews--no one wants to do them. With my background as CTO of Buy.com, if I wanted to hire a Java or.NET developer, I could do a search on those titles with a keyword, and create a list, constrained to Southern Orange County or Southern California. That helped a lot.

On the legal side, my practice in North California and we have an advertising and media group in New York City. When you had an explosion of content developers that wanted to be in LA with all the resource that the entertainment industry has available here, all the creative people want to be here.

I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. As with any sales campaign you need to: Qualify your buyers early so you focus your scarce resources on people likely to buy your product. I never suggest that entrepreneurs just randomly pitch VCs. Meet in person.
