I recently hosted a panel at the Twiistup Conference about LA tech companies. In the bay area it’s quite common for the entrepreneurs starting a company to be developers or technologists who can build the first versions of their products. Simply put LA has a lack of GREAT product, UI/UX, and design talent.

This was evident at the Twiistup pre-event company pitch last week at UCLA. Francisco Dao came up with the idea of letting 10 companies that weren’t selected for Twiistup to do a presentation the night before to a group of people and let the audience pick one company to win the final slot at Twiistup. I was the judge.

At the Twiistup panel last week, there was a debate over whether big companies could be created here, which is ridiculous--Demand Media is the latest example there, we've got Cornerstone OnDemand coming out soon, and there is no question there are market leading, large revenue companies coming out of Southern California.
