I believe that Twiistup is now a platform from which to grow and highlight what is uniquely LA.

Funding is different – In Silicon Valley you have mega venture capital funds and many of them. It’s not uncommon for incredibly smart and talented Phd’s or CS majors from Stanford to raise $10 million on an early-stage “platform&# that if it succeeds it will be huge.
