And consider Snapchat – one of our hometown favorites as they’re based in LA (Venice Beach). No – I’m not worried about the competition. But I know with local funding and local support that’s certainly less likely. But we still need more funds. We’ll win our fair share of deals.

I'm going to move to LA, and we're pretty close to the Movieclips guys, and we think we'll have some support from them and start in Venice somewhere. Do you see a lot of competition from current US services? We plan on opening up shop at the end of June.

People welcomed us with open arms, and always wanted us to co-invest, because they didn't see us as competitive. They think I live in Hollywood, but there's Santa Monica, Venice, Echo Park, Silverlake, there's a scene downtown, I can go for a walk in the hills, I can go take a walk on the beach, there is just so much going on.

I mean, Venice Beach is starting to be called “Silicon Beach”. The competition is not as big as Silicon Valley of course, but LA is going in the right direction.
