Investor Nate Redmond from Rustic Canyon Partners spoke candidly to the audience about the faux pas in approaching investors. Next up was Avesta Rasouli from Coloft , a coworking space that is considered to be the hub of LA Tech, focused on the elements that make for a great startup community; capital, talent and social networks.

In San Francisco, it's technology people looking to find business people.
