the LA consumer startup ecosystem is coming into its own -- Honey, Snap, Riot Games, Tinder, Bird, Dollar Shave Club. The most $1B+ consumer startups outside of the Bay Area? A few years back, I might have guessed that NYC would be the emerging leader. But pretty clear it's LA.

There is an interesting seed stage VC opportunity in cult brands. “Cult” = brands with irrational levels of consumer loyalty. These companies are unlikely to go public, so you have to underwrite carefully, but there will be hundreds of $100-600M outcomes.
