Episode Description

The buzz: “I love Los Angeles. It reinvents itself every two days” (Bill Connolly). Los Angeles, the heart of the movie production and entertainment industry, is under pressure to provide new and exciting avenues for promoting their valuable content. Enter new startups poised to ensure that 100-plus years of movies, TV shows and other content get in front of consumers who are increasingly adopting digital, social, and viral channels. These startups are also ready to help production studios and related businesses monetize their unique content and preserve their brand in today’s global marketplace, which threatens to dilute the dominance LA once held. The experts speak. Sathish Gajaraju, Sensify: Obanno: “Bond, get on the train” (Skyfall, 2012 film). Mayank Mathur, SAP Startup Focus: “All good ideas start out as bad ideas, that’s why it takes so long” (Steven Spielberg). Join us for The Startup Mindset: LA Woos Tech Startups to the Movies.
