Los Angeles. In my LA I often see computer screens open with entrepreneurs talking about digital media. There is no region in the country that comes close to having the sheer number of angels & VCs that Silicon Valley has as well as the dollars that flow into the region (40% of all dollars, PwC Moneytree report ).
