The regional geography of venture capital in Southern California.
Los Angeles is much more associated with Hollywood and celebrity culture than start-ups, venture capital and high-tech industry. But that seems to be changing.
Over the past few weeks, I've been looking at the changing geography of venture capital investment and start-up activity in American metros and cities, using zip code level data for 2011 made available to me by Dow Jones. Today I turn to Southern California, the region stretching from L.A. through Orange County and down to San Diego.
