GCN Investor Conference in Newport Beach, CA
OCT 15 · NEWPORT BEACH, CA
LIVE EVENT
A large public research university anchoring the west Los Angeles startup corridor, strong in media technology and health.
The University of California, Los Angeles is one of the largest and most applied-to universities in the United States, with major research strength in medicine, engineering, and the life sciences.
Its location places it inside the Los Angeles technology corridor, where entertainment, consumer, and health technology intersect in ways they do not elsewhere.
Startup UCLA runs the university's accelerator and summer programming, while the Anderson School contributes founders on the commercial side and the medical school on the research side.
Los Angeles has matured considerably as a startup market, with sufficient local capital that companies no longer need to relocate north to raise.
UCLA's founder output is broad rather than concentrated, spanning media and entertainment technology, digital health, consumer applications, and biotechnology. Its scale means a very large alumni base across the Los Angeles economy.
Los Angeles hosts Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Crosscut Ventures, and Fifth Wall, with an active angel community drawn from entertainment and real estate wealth in addition to technology.
