As someone who lives in LA and is currently bootstrapping a startup, I would love to see more $$ poured in to the LA startup scene.

It seems like LA has largely been ignored by VC and angel investors.

[slapshot]

LA is no Silicon Valley, but there is more money floating around SoCal than you think.

I assume you've checked in with the Tech Coast Angels (http://www.techcoastangels.com/) and some of Frank Peters' contacts?

There's also an event next week for LA startups: http://community.intellicontact.com/p/fundingpost/newsletter...

Do you have any experience attending the event that's being held next week? What's the turnout like?

If you're on the east-side, don't forget about http://pasadenaangels.com

Feel free to drop me a line -- there is a scene, and there are investors, although of course it doesn't compare to SV.
