A REVOLUTION IS BREWING.
A convergence of four things has sparked a revolution in Santa Monica which has suddenly become known as "Silicon Beach".
1) Students at top universities who fear difficulty in obtaining jobs are now focused on entrepreneurship
2) Investors discouraged with an erratic stock market are seeking the more-predictable returns of investing in start-ups
3) The proximity to Hollywood's entertainment expertise
4) The creativity of a large number of a new breed of well educated high-tech business and computer specialists. Combined, we are witnessing an explosion in start-up activity.
This activity is demanding small inexpensive work spaces which have caused the co-working business to explode. Co-working spaces provide locations for networking, which then bring together established business leaders, start-ups, investors, incubators, accelerators, and networkers eager to participate in any way possible. "Incubators" seek out and help good ideas succeed, and "Accelerators" take small successful start-ups and help them grow into large real companies.
Don't risk a trip to Silicon Beach without this App, otherwise you'll miss the best food & entertainment the area has to offer. This little-known fun beachy entertainment mecca has found itself directly in the heart of Santa Monica, California.
"Silicon Beach" is the name used to describe this area centered along our beach that hosts a large and growing number of tech start-ups and investors.
Why? Two main reasons. First, because the money is here in Los Angeles, which is rated as the 3rd highest city economy in the world as ranked by Price Waterhouse Coopers. Second, because of the proximity to Hollywood. Silicon Beach is in the "Thirty Mile Zone" (TMZ), the area of Los Angeles with a large concentration of entertainment industry celebrities, studios, and companies. Many startups require the world's most talented celebrities, directors, cinematographers, and production effects specialists which can only be found here.
This App helps you tune-in on the area, presenting the history of Silicon Beach, the technology players, and most importantly, the places to have FUN.

Much of Silicon Beach's entertainment scene is unnoticed by visitors as it's lost between the popular downtown Santa Monica and Venice hotspots which draw many tourists.
This little-known sector has a surprisingly rich and fascinating history, and a vibrant dining, bar, dance club, entertainment, shopping, celebrity-spotting, and beachy fun scene.
