My current state of the SoCal hard tech map. Although constantly evolving, this map gives a solid snapshot of the SoCal landscape.
One thing that's obvious when comparing to map 1.0 is El Segundo continues to be the most popular, but Hawthorne picked up a few. DM me if you

There is a resurgence in El Segundo, reminiscent of the 1940s aerospace boom, where key industry players, such as Douglas Aircraft, Hughes Aircraft, Northrop Aircraft, and North American Aviation (Rockwell), established operations. Defense is cool again!!!
Great to see lots of attention on the El Segundo defense hackathon. We
@8VC
were proud to help organize.
Defense wasn’t as cool when we started PLTR 21 years ago.
Amazing to see young builders excited about the USA and defense tech, and what they can build in a weekend! 🇺🇸

Some hard tech companies are starting to feel this. The rent might be listed as $2.50 per SF, but the company wants the Landlord to pay for all of their improvements, this may increase the rent. Also, remember most Landlords don’t have the capital to pay for improvements…

Most companies go into business with the hopes of being sold or acquired. So, they create outsider shareholder value, or they build & sell.
Anyone who’s ever worked in a business knows that external pressures can manifest themselves in many ways. It’s not all win-win.
