When you hear 'Los Angeles,' your mind may go straight to rolling waves and glamorous celebrities, but thanks to the rise of Silicon Beach, over 500 tech startups were born under the LA sun. Though heavy-hitters such as Facebook, Google, and Youtube have opened offices in the city, other tech heads who call LA home are sowing the seeds of ingenuity among the sand and surf.
As LA's start-up scene continues to boom, coworking spaces have begun sprinkling across the landscape to accommodate these entrepreneurs and freelancers.
