GRID110

Grid110 supportsearly-stage entrepreneurs through access to space, mentors, and resources. Downtown LA is a story that is being written right now. With its collection of neighborhoods, industries, and historic anchors, Downtown LA is rich with opportunity. Los Angeles is currently graduating more engineers than anywhere else in the country, and is primed to become the country's next great tech center. Despite its dynamisms and abundance of resources, the area has been slow to attract and integr... ate entrepreneurship. When Grid110 came onto the scene in 2015, office space was one of the biggest hurdles. Entrepreneurs were having a hard time finding appropriate office space in Silicon Beach, while Downtown LA ran perennial commercial space vacancies of over 20 percent per the DCBID. Downtown LA now hosts a myriad of co-working and office spaces, accommodating teams from 1 to 50+. For the past two years, Grid110's primary focus was on Fashion Tech startups. Having learned a lot about the critical needs of early stage startups and wanting to scale the program to a broader market, Grid110's current programming is open to any vertical. Grid110's current focus is to help define clearer pathways for successful entrepreneurship and activate the community in Downtown LA.
