Yesterday, I met with someone at the early stage of a startup. He was struggling to find high quality developers in Los Angeles. Just the kind of person I like to meet. :) But I was a bit surprised when he emphasized how hard it had been for them to find a webdeveloper in Los Angeles. In fact, after a bit he gave up.
skip to main | skip to sidebar SoCal CTO Saturday, February 17, 2007 About this Blog Ive been thinking about doing a blog with my thoughts on technology and whats happening in the Los Angeles area technology scene for a while, but it was Ben Kuos recent start of a blog that inspired me to actually go ahead and do it.

About What we do Portfolio People Blog Contact. Among the many factors to consider when choosing a webdevelopment framework, raw performance is easy to objectively measure. Application performance can be directly mapped to hosting dollars, and for a start-up company in its infancy, hosting costs can be a pain point.
As noted in Hacking Hacker News , the company previously dominated the mindshare of the webdevelopment community by facilitating the spread of a random posting on Hacker News. Divshot''s solution is an innovative webdevelopment tool, which automatically generates professional-grade code during the wire framing process.
Fred Wilson wrote two posts in 2010 that were very influential with the startup community. The titles were: Mobile First, Web Second. Mobile First, Web Second (continued). ” Part of the beauty of blogging that in two sittings Fred was able to influence what was built over the next 12 months. then mobile is awesome.
Its interesting to think about how universities might want to have their staff better aligned with moving ideas from the lab to start-ups. Tony Karrer is CEO/CTO of TechEmpower , a Los Angeles WebDevelopment firm, and is considered one of the top technologists in e-Learning.
Cliff Allen is someone I've known for quite a few years and he's a go to person for me when I'm thinking about issues around marketing, sales, technology, startups and networking. Lots of online marketing before that, but we had some great results when we were picked up by a national radio program. Hey, radio. Great stuff.
Steve Gilison worked as a market researcher and product manager at a startup where my company, TechEmpower , did the software / webdevelopment. My focus has been marketing strategy and product development. I also blog at [link] and you can find me on twitter: @gilbola. What keeps you up at night?

skip to main | skip to sidebar SoCal CTO Monday, March 12, 2007 MyShape Article - Analyst Misses the Point The NY Times did a piece today on MyShape, a start-up in Pasadena - Log in Your Measurements, and the Clothes May Fit. He has been the CTO for several start-ups, most notably eHarmony.

skip to main | skip to sidebar SoCal CTO Saturday, February 17, 2007 Where LinkedIn Works for Me Ive been a long time user of LinkedIn , but only recently have started getting the benefits I always expected. When I was looking for speakers for an event last fall on Web 2.0 , LinkedIn was a great way to reach out.
As I look at more and more start-ups predicated on viral growth, and at the use of social marketing, its becoming simultaneously easier to understand some aspects of viral growth and still a gap in understanding whats going to be that "hook" that will grab people at the end of the day.

In it he separates web consumers into: Time Rich (more time than money) and Time Poor (more money than time). He tells us: If you’re starting a new internet company, its important to know who your audience is, and to make sure that you don’t let your own experience and that of other Time Poor people guide you wrong.

Los Angeles-based Aggregage (www.aggregage.com) is looking to help aggregate the content across multiple blog publishing sites, and curate that information into specific, B2B niche vertical web sites. That is starting to show itself in the B2B space. He has been blogging on a number of subjects, for example, eLearning.
Although noteworthy, working with large corporations differs remarkably from working with startups. While the appearance matters, remember you are hiring the development firm primarily for its development skills, not its graphic design skills. Are they publicly available? Or do you need help evaluating software firms?
But a newly minted developer given access to Hacker News can develop ADD in a week's time, waste countless hours reading the opinions of professional and amateur technology opinion-makers, and nervously fidget about selecting the hippest framework and libraries to (briefly) avoid the scorn of hacker pop culture. Think of the money!
