This podcast interview with Deepak Nanda, President of the LA Venture Fund, not just delves into venture capital criteria for investing in cutting edge technology, but also the competitive divide between Californian cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco’s reach to Silicon Valley. LA’s version is Silicon Beach, just 20 minutes out of LA, at Marina Del Ray and Playa Vista, with millions of dollars pouring in to create a technology and innovation hub. We also discuss other American cities re-creating themselves, like Detroit and Atlanta, and the opportunities being created in education, manufacturing and how technology may not be a threat to jobs but a saviour to jobs and creating new industries.
