The most recent Private Capital Access Index report produced by Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management, in partnership with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., revealed that 55% of owners are less confident in their business growth prospects than one year ago (pdf). While this number may seem similar to the millions of other vague statistics […]
As has become a ritual for much of the Silicon Beach community, I headed out to Jason Nazar’s latest Startups Uncensored last night and surprised myself by just how many great insights I took away from his guest, Box CEO Aaron Levie.

We, among many other LA entrepreneurs and startup gazers, were literally on the edge of our seats. Lacy was able to run Sacca all the way through the gamut, not entirely unexpected from one of […]
Renaissance man would be a less than generous label for David Hornik, currently a General Partner with August Capital, lecturer at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, and the creator and Executive Producer of The Lobby Conference (insert breath taking here). Docstoc’s Jason Nazar caught up with Hornik at his most recent Startups Uncensored and per usual, was able […]
