Angel GRP Partners Technical Review 
Both Sides of the Table
MARCH 5, 2010
I attended the inaugural Open Angel Forum in Los Angeles back in January and wrote about it here. Jason Calacanis started this initiative in response to the pay-to-play network of angel events that he despised. The first event was a big success and brought out many of LA’s angel elite.

GRP Partners is looking to hire two analysts (maybe even three) to join our practice in Los Angeles. If this isn’t you, we’d probably still have a look if you did something truly exception – probably at startup or tech firm. We want somebody who is ready, willing and able to debate tech with us.

But in Los Angeles, Santa Monica is akin to SoMa in San Francisco, Cambridge in the Boston area or Flatiron / Union Square in NYC.
