Venture capital in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has the second-largest concentration of chapters in the database after New York, spread across a metropolitan area that organizations treat differently: EO has a Los Angeles chapter and a separate one in Woodland Hills, TIGER 21 and Hampton run Los Angeles groups, R360 has a chapter, and WPO runs more than one. The angel community is organised through Tech Coast Angels, now TCA Venture Group, one of the largest angel networks in the country. The clubs divide between the historic downtown institutions with business memberships and the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills members' clubs that opened in the last decade for the entertainment and technology industries. Distance matters here more than in other cities: an organization's chapter may meet an hour from where you live.
