California's City of Angels came top in The Youthful Cities Index's entrepreneurship category, with over 800 startups in the Los Angeles area, according to the Represent LA website.
The city is home to "Silicon Beach," a technology community in the Venice Beach and Santa Monica areas where smaller startups brush shoulders with internet giants such as Google.
It helps that LA universities produce more engineering graduates than the famed Silicon Valley, and authorities are looking to harness that talent. The Bixel Exchange was launched by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce to help startups develop and grow by connecting them with government and private companies, such as Microsoft and Siemens.
