yes we code La set to lead in Ed Tech

 Los Angeles has long been a hub for various kinds of startups and up-and-coming tech

companies, from video gaming to software programming to data analytics, but one sector of

technology in particular has been growing steadily in the LA area over the past few years:

Ed-Tech startups.

With ed-tech startups focusing on education, primarily through apps and games that make

learning fun and engaging, there’s certainly an opportunity to create new jobs in the Los

Angeles area that could benefit both the economy and local residents.

So can Los Angeles be the hub of ed-tech startup growth?

The answer just might be yes.

Talent Innovation

In recent years, Los Angeles has become a hub for tech talent and innovation. With the

growing popularity of coding bootcamps and the city's commitment to investing in its

workforce, it's no surprise that LA is poised to become a leading destination for ed-tech

startups.

Already home to major education companies like Western University, Triton College, and the

University of Southern California (USC), this vibrant metropolis will be an exciting place for

those interested in starting their own company.

These institutions attract some of the brightest minds in the industry and provide fertile

ground for new educational innovations. The University of Southern California was named

one of America's Top 50 Innovative Universities by The Atlantic in 2015 and was ranked No.

2 on the list of Best Value Schools by U.S News & World Report, behind Stanford.

Similarly, Triton College was ranked among The Chronicle’s list of schools with the most

satisfied graduates for three consecutive years.

The proximity to Silicon Beach makes LA a prime location for any entrepreneur looking to

explore opportunities around ed-tech startups. As venture capital investment into ed-tech

ventures continues to grow at rapid rates - doubling over the last five years - startups across

the country are taking notice and looking westward as well.

Ecosystem Support

Los Angeles is quickly becoming a hub for ed-tech startups. The city offers a wealth of

resources and support for entrepreneurs looking to enter the education technology space.

From incubators and accelerators to co-working spaces and funding, LA has everything

startups need to get off the ground.

Additionally, the city is home to a large population of talented engineers and designers,

making it an ideal place to launch an ed-tech startup. With all of these factors working in its

favor, it's no wonder that LA is poised to become a leading player in the ed-tech startup

scene.

A list of resources for aspiring entrepreneurs in the LA area includes:

● AngelPad (an accelerator program)

● Powered by Kids (a non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to STEM

education)

● LAUNCH Festival (a global event focused on new innovation)

● Startup Village Summit (an annual event geared towards connecting founders with

potential investors)

● Annual CTA Conference (the largest gathering of professionals from across K-12,

higher ed, nonprofits and other sectors)

Funding

In the past year, Los Angeles has seen a surge in ed-tech startups. This is due in part to the

city's strong commitment to funding education initiatives.

In addition, the city's large population of creative and entrepreneurial individuals provides a

perfect environment for ed-tech startups to thrive. With the right support, Los Angeles could

become a leading hub for ed-tech startup growth.

Larger cities have already started to take notice, with notable venture capital firms opening

offices in Silicon Valley and New York City. It is possible that these investments will lead to

innovation which can be used by other parts of the country.

If this happens, it would mean that while other areas are struggling with lower graduation

rates, lack of qualified teachers and unequal distribution of resources, Los Angeles would be

thriving as a hub for ed-tech startup growth.

Education Reform

In the past decade, education reform has favored the growth of ed-tech startups. These

innovative companies have created new ways to learn that are more engaging and effective

than traditional methods.

As a result, ed-tech startups are attracting more investment and attention from

entrepreneurs and educators alike. With so many resources available for startup founders,

Los Angeles is set to lead in this field. The Silicon Beach Entrepreneurship Program

provides free support for those looking to start their own company.

For example, they can get guidance on how to turn an idea into reality and find investors for

funding. They also offer networking opportunities with fellow entrepreneurs and access to

legal help when starting up a business.

California’s tax incentives make it easier for people to afford investing in startups as well.

There are plenty of resources out there to help anyone who wants to start their own

company, but some are specifically geared towards entrepreneurs interested in developing

educational products.

One such resource is Education Innovation Lab (EIL), which offers memberships and

consulting services for ed-tech startups. EIL will work with you every step of the way,

whether you need assistance finding talent or learning about marketing strategies.
