Every day I do this, it becomes more obvious to me:

You can't understand a submarket from behind a computer.

So I go out and visit hard tech companies and add them to my map.

Last week, I added 7 new companies to my OC Hard Tech map.

Irvine:
Alpha Motor Corporation
AONDevices, Inc.
Atoco
Ecotune
HawkRobo Systems
Oceanbotics

Newport Beach:
Real Baarish Inc

Reach out if you want a copy of the finished map.

And if you see me in your submarket, say Hi!

El Segundo, CA - Part 6
Welcome @anduriltech

What hard tech founders should check before leasing their next warehouse space...

Two warehouses can have the exact same square footage and work completely differently for a hard tech company.

In this video, I share some of the questions founders should ask before choosing their next space.

The more granular questions will depend on what you're building. But this video is a good start.

Version 8 in October. Keep it pumping @erik_stiebel 🚀🚀

[Erik Stiebel - hard tech cre broker @erik_stiebel]

I first released my SoCal Hard Tech Landscape Map in April 2024.

It was about 2.5 years ago, but given how fast hard tech changes, it feels like ancient history.

I’m putting the finishing touches on Version 8.0 now.

The last version had 279 companies across the region. This one looks like it’ll break 300.

So I thought it’d be interesting to look back at how the ecosystem has grown.

X won't let me include all 7 previous versions, but I think the 4 maps I included tell the story.

Version 8.0 is coming in October.

If you're a SoCal hard tech startup and want to be included on the October map, DM me this week.

One thing I didn't expect hard tech founders to care this much about when choosing space: their neighbors.

But there are a few good reasons for that.

In this video, I share why, and why you might want to consider who is around you, too.

[Luke Stiebel @LukeStiebel]

I could look at this all day

@willalverson Let’s go 5/5 congrats

[Luke Stiebel @LukeStiebel]

My Orange County Hard Tech Landscape map has come a looooong way since I started in mid-July.

I plan on releasing version 2.0 in a few weeks.

If you want to be on this map but don’t see your company, DM me.
