The LA edge

Los Angeles is home to a treasure trove of frontier tech innovations that will benefit the entire nation.

World-changing companies need talent, space, good electrical connection, and polished concrete floors. Our backyard has it all…

  • We have abundant square footage:  The city of LA covers 10x the area of SF.
  • The best talent lives here:  LA has more engineering graduates than any other US market, and more than 90 LA-based startups have spun out of SpaceX alone. The lifeblood of Southern California’s tech scene is charged by unapologetically optimistic engineers, machinists, and entrepreneurs building at the frontier of atoms-based technology.
  • This is where global trends take root:  At the intersection of North America, Asia, and Latin America, LA is both a creative capital and an engineering hub. This city will shape the new techno-industrial culture.

Support for founders rooted in hustle, heart & humility

The Crosscut playbook is built on decades of experience taking founders from Seed to Series A. We’ve reverse-engineered the key milestones, so we can sit down with entrepreneurs to lay out unique success events and support the companies beyond simple KPIs. It is an approach rooted in hustle, heart, and humility.

We believe that it’s a founder’s vision that makes or breaks a company; we’re here to support that vision, especially in the face of a challenge.

Not only do we support investments in personal development and wellness, we commit capital to it. That’s why when we partner with companies, we pledge one percent to fund bespoke programs that support our founders’ growth. Whether it’s individualized coaching, subject matter boards, management training, or creating 360 reviews and developing your culture, we work with the best in business leadership to develop customized guidance for every step of your journey.
