The Los Angeles indie SaaS scene
Los Angeles's founder scene is geographically distributed in a way that few coastal cities match – Santa Monica, Venice, Silver Lake, Pasadena, and Long Beach all carry small founder clusters and none of them dominate. The indie SaaS cohort is creator-economy-adjacent, often selling tools into media, entertainment, or content businesses.
