The LA startup scene had a quietly very good 2024.
4th in total capital raised vs other US metro areas (and truly neck-and-neck with Boston for 3rd)
No lower than 5th in any of the key startup sectors
Really strong showing in Hardware fundraising thanks to the blooming hardtech ecosystem
Obviously just had the city on my mind this week.
Sending love and support to LA from SF 🙏
