Spotlight: LA Tech was a huge success as Efren posted last week. For those that missed it, there is a full rebroadcast on Techzulu.com. Each startup did a great job pitching their dreams an vision, but we want to dig a little deeper.

This segment we will call the TZ Startup Hot Seat and first to get grilled is Cliff Elion with You Rock Guitar.

We would like to thank all who came out and supported the first Spotlight event of the year. To those that couldn’t make it and watched the live broadcast we thank you and all the support you have given TechZulu.

The moment has finally arrived! After months of submissions the Spotlights are shining down these amazing LA companies! For those who still might be wondering what Spotlight: LA Tech is all about, It’s a screening room for new technology homegrown in our region. It’s a gallery of great entrepreneurship. It’s a toast to those who build and innovate. It’s a gathering of friends and tech enthusiasts of all stripes.

We here at TechZulu have been diligently working away on the next Spotlight: LA Tech event at USC March 3rd.  Through the search of what company would be a great presentation of what the Los Angeles tech community is capable of, this company not only fits the description but knocks it out of the park!

That’s right. We all work hard, now it’s time to play hard. TechZulu is turning three and we couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate than the exclusive nightclub, Drai’s Hollywood. We’ve partnered with New Media Vault (who subsequently will be celebrating their two year anniversary) to bring you a night of red carpet chic, rooftop cabanas, and a DJ who’s flying in from New York.

Happy New Year everyone!  And what better way to ring in the new year then to give companies the chance to highlight their hard work and amazing product through TechZulu’s Spotlight: LA Tech event.
