Bixel Exchange

Over the last several years, the LA tech scene has slowly evolved from a small cadre of pioneers to a burgeoning community that’s ready to become a leader in the tech world. According to Telefonica’s 2012 Start-Up Ecosystem Report, Los Angeles is the third largest global start-up ecosystem behind the Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv.

Today, there are startups, companies, universities, think tanks, venture capitalists and incubators—all working on growing this region’s tech industry. But, how can we leverage those resources to help foster this next generation of entrepreneurs and innovation?

Recognizing the need to build a more robust technology sector in the LA area, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce partnered with the US Small Business Administration’s (SBA) technical advisors the, LA Regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network, to form a new technology center—Bixel Exchange.

Hosted by the Chamber, Bixel Exchange will leverage the power of the Chamber and the proven track record of the SBA’s SBDC Network spanning LA, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Bixel Exchange aims to serve an ever-evolving and dynamic market with core services to ADVISE, EDUCATE, & CONNECT.

Bixel Exchange will focus on the rapidly evolving segments of the high-tech communities, including adtech, mobile, digital and social media, gaming and clean tech. Bixel Exchange will serve entrepreneurs by working with: Accelerators, incubators and co-working spaces, venture capitalists, angel investors and private equity firms, universities, research institutions and innovation labs, and government—local, state, and federal.
