Is the Conejo Valley becoming one of Southern California’s most interesting places to build a company?

In this episode, I share why I believe Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and the broader Conejo Valley already have many of the ingredients of a strong startup ecosystem.

I reflect on launching MyLLC.com here in 2005, the influence of companies like Amgen, the growth of PureSpectrum, the early days of Pray.com, local investors and founders, and why something we rarely talk about, quality of life, may be one of the region’s biggest competitive advantages.

I also share what I think comes next: more founders, investors, executives, students and established companies crossing paths and creating opportunities for one another.
