A gateway to L.A. Inno and the City of Angels' ecosystem

Welcome to L.A. Inno.

Consider this your terminal to the Los Angeles startup ecosystem.

First, who are we?

L.A. Inno is a digital media publication covering, connecting and catalyzing local innovation. We're part of American Inno, a network of local innovation intelligence cultivating engaged startup, tech and entrepreneurial communities in 40-plus markets across the country. We're also part of American City Business Journals, making us a sister site of L.A. Business First.

But you're not here for us; you're here because you're interested, new to or directly involved with L.A.'s innovation economy. Let us help you plug into this community and stay abreast of it.

If you haven't already follow us on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for daily updates.

New to the ecosystem?

Start with Inno's Guides, which will provide you with a variety of resources and onboarding materials, including lists of local capital sources and coworking spaces and roundups of regional meetup groups and accelerators. And take a look at our Ecosystem at a Glance feature, which serves as a 30,000-foot view of the landscape.

Situated?

Now that you have a sense of the key people, businesses, organizations and stakeholders that make up the ecosystem, let's go a little deeper.

You can read the latest news and analysis on L.A.'s tech and startups here. To get a feel for some of the region's top startups, cruise through our profiles. For the latest local venture capital deals, head over to our Fundings page. For comprehensive features on current issues, trends and topics impacting the community, check out Inno Insights. You can also view Roundups for monthly lists on top fundings and hires and News for briefs on recent expansions, acquisitions, launches and more.

Need a job or looking to network?

Take a look at our Events directory, a collection of local ecosystem meetups (both live and virtual). If you have an open position or are organizing an event, you can post it directly to our directories. And if you're a local business doing amazing things in the community, be sure to nominate for one of our core awards.

Hoping to meet like-minded businesses?

We'll have a Startup Directory to search for and discover L.A. startups. Filter by industry, funding, stage and size or hit the "Inno Shuffle" for a little dealer’s choice. In the next few months, Inno will be releasing a 2.0 version of its directory, with a more curated collection of the city's top early and growth-stage companies.

We'll also have a Community directory, which will be open to the entire ecosystem, with individual company pages. This will be the ecosystem's "Yellow Pages," so stay tuned.

Have a pretty good feel for the community but hoping to sound extra knowledgeable?

We've already published dozens of stories on Los Angeles' innovation economy. Take a look at some of our most recent deep-dives below.
