I called this trend “ Torso TV ” because the “head” of consumption (largest number of views) was dominated by platforms that had massive distribution (think TV stations, radio or retail outlets that sell CDs and DVDs. easy sharing (through social networks or platforms like YouTube). think Apple. and again here.

I believe that Twiistup is now a platform from which to grow and highlight what is uniquely LA. For highlighting what is uniquely LA, for adhering to a strict quality standard for speakers and for building this great platform for the future Francisco Dao (aka “ The Man ”) should feel proud of what he has accomplished.

There are a lot of other competition shows and reality show, which are much more predatory and cut-throat, and it's nice for our entrepreneurs to not only get a real investment, but get great feedback. What we want to do with our show, since it runs on a Saturday, is to be very family friendly, and focused on the entrepreneurs.

The following week, I joined AT&T Hackathon at iO/LA in Hollywood and again pitched the idea. I faced the same challenge not being able to form a team because most people joined the competition with friends that they had already planned on working with. Luckily, I joined another team that eventually won 1 st Place.

Surprisingly, Hollywood hasnt played a major role in the formation of new companies, which have tended to be in less glamorous though more lucrative areas like lead-generation and service (with obvious exceptions like JibJab and Hulu, a joint venture of Fox and NBC). You dont have the same levels of fast turnover as a starting point, right?

My daily coffee meetings are not surrounded by the Hollywood elite with discussions of scripts, scenes and casting. It’s hard to get people to take a risk at a startup or for a reasonable salary with all this competition. And of course you have Hollywood. Sure, but it will be different than the Bay Area ones.

I love learning first hand about the differences in analytics platforms, social media conversion, the effectively of copy, how to cultivate an audience, etc. But the reality is that most “conventional wisdom&# is a bit like Hollywood films.
