Get The Lowdown On LA’s Startup Scene [video]

Not familiar with the LA startup scene and want a crash course on it from people in it? Our friends at Media Temple just put their finishing touches on a video piece from Twiistup 8 a couple weeks ago interviewing five of LA’s most influential entrepreneurs. They’ll go over items such as which LA startups to watch out for, how to find talent, figuring out an exit strategy, and they also give some ideas on how to evolve the local startup scene further.

Even if you think you’re hip to the scene, the video is still a must watch as these are some very smart people with great insights.
