This is part of my ongoing series Pitching a VC. Quick caveats: having fewer investors (3-5) is better than many investors (10-15) and PLEASE make sure you hire a great lawyer who has experience in doing start-ups to avoid pitfalls that will make VC harder down the line. They might be as hard as raising VC.

Pasadena-based BigStage (www.bigstage.com) is one of those rare companies that has taken technology developed from university research, and is now bringing that technology to the commercial market.

Challenge #3 – There Needs to Be More Institutional Capital in Los Angeles. There simply are NOT enough venture capital firms in the Southern California. If there were more great companies coming out of LA then it would create more demand for high quality VC firms. It’s a chicken and egg problem.

It’s becoming harder to distinguish tech companies from media companies. I’ve been meeting with LPs (those who invest in VC funds) over the past year and discussing trends I see in the market and where I think we need to be as a firm to be near to and meet the needs of our customers.
