South Park L.A: So Cal’s Sillicon Valley & Ayala Park: Asia’s Silicon Valley

-posted by martin cavanaugh porter

South Park L.A is a microcosm of Silicon Valley: But better. Here’s why- The brilliance and boldness, the ‘newness’ and vigor of ideas that flowed from that great hotbed of ingenuity which helped the economies of the world flourish-exists in South Park, within a six block geographical zone.

And more: It is youth, brilliance and glitter matched with (some)seasoned experience (half those folks caused this recession-(it’s called ‘failing upwards and I still think these pigs at the trough should be called to account) ‘the other half have much  wisdom to offer: Just North of our great 90015 incubator that is South Park are the institutions that repose in them many men and women with experience and the financial expertise to assist the tech-creative-manufacturing-design hotbed that is South Park, L.A.

Even better: Abroad, in South East Asia, in the most unlikely places one might think, are other hotbeds of brilliance- Ayala Tech Park in the Philippines, and VC’s spread out like fans on a spinning fan looking for excellence, seeking alliances, and investing in strategic partnerships. Our company,my team, Forbes-South Park Dev Group (mcporter@flvllc.com) is working with one of the key players in that VC fan for two reasons:

To build the dream that is M Motors- a dream that convention and retrograde, formulaic in-the-box thinking will never destroy.

To work to form a strategic partnership with them, providing a pipeline of projects from South Park, viable to finance for expansion and growth purposes.

 It is with alacrity and with a renewed sense of purpose that I find myself forever taken by South Park and it’s pioneers-and it is my mission and one of the core purposes of my life to move South Park L.A’s brilliant, bright, entrepreneurs into the spotlight of international expansion, of better, brighter days.

The South Park Development Group, E L V Motors, and Wabi Cycles are innovating to reduce emission, polluting vehicles in Los Angeles-NOW

South Park Development Group

-posted by Martin Cavanaugh Porter (CEO South Park Development Group) & Jeffrey Chung (CIO South Park Development Group)

The South Park Development Group has contacted: Bill Allen with the LA Economic Development Department, City Council Woman Jan Perry, Gail Goldberg, Los Angeles’ highly innovative city planner, Jaime De La Vega, Deputy Mayor for Transportation, and Veronica with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative in order to develop powerful, institutional support for high-quality, affordable, zero-emission vehicles: From scooters to vans that you plug in the wall and emit zero-absolutely zero emissions.

We will keep you posted regarding their response and follow-up as we have invited them to join with The South Park Development Group, E L V Motors, and Wabi Cycles (www.wabicycles.com) to:

1. Make Los Angeles more livable.

2. Bring New jobs to Los Angeles.

3. Promote fleet-sales to the city and county and to private institutions of fully electric, quality, value priced, zero-emissions vehicles.

4. Shore up the tax base.

Tomorrow ELV Motors and The South Park Development Group will begin a series of day-in, day-out bue sky sessions resulting in a foundational-partnership to assemble and distribute zero-emission scooters to vans in Los Angeles using D.T Los Angeles (South Park Los Angeles) as a ground zero hub for bleeding edge innovation.

What is on the table: The potential that E L V Motors will relocate their hq and plant to DTLos Angeles and that South Park Los Angeles will be used as an ideas incubator to prove the veracity and ingenuity of fully-electric scooters, vans, and cars.

Further that Wabi Cycles, an easy-to-use, top quality, value-priced cycle company, founded by Richard Snook, a thirty year cycle industry veteran (www.wabicycles.com) whose cycles are assembled and hq in South Park Los Angeles will become an important driver motivating people to take short-distance trips on safe, aesthetically pleasing cycles.

Finally that local stake-holders like Rasmus Lee with PRE Brokerage (and Hygge Bakery-which, in alliance with The South Park Development Group will be using a fully electric, zero-emission delivery van for their bakery) are willing to think so far out of the box to get this city moving again, through new, innovative agreements.

These stories must be told and what is so motivating is that important forces are moving with the Rasmus Lee, Martin Cavanaugh Porter, The South Park Development Group, WabiCycles, and E L V Motors, to improve the quality of life for the residents of Los Angeles.

Innovators and entreprenuers you are not alone-there is a great chamber on the rise

“There is no Democratic or Republican way of cleaning the streets…”- Mayor Fiorello La Guardia (NY)

This is a tough city to be liberal, innovative, and entrepreneurial: Our mayor is too busy looking in the mirror, quaffing his hair and planning for the governorship. Every department that makes decisions about business is led by well-meaning individuals powerless over bureaucracies whose employees make capricious, customized decisions that literally, wreck many small businesses chances of succeeding.

Los Angeles is sending a chilling message to young, brilliant, bright innovators: find another place to do business.

These petty czars, zealously guarding their turf and egos strut and stride whilst our cities’ tax base is being degraded and parking fees go through the roof. They are directly responsible for businesses fleeing and our tax base under threat.

There is a great, ‘Greater’ Chamber that is listening and acting on behalf of enlightened innovators and pressed small and medium sized businesses. For the sake of politics and comity, the editor of The Down Town Los Angeles Business Blog will not name this force for good and change-it might thwart their ability to do what they are so successfully doing: Acting as advocates for hard-pressed business owners of all ethnicity’s and types.

What we will do is take it upon ourselves, through our connections, contacts, and businesses, to assist this chamber every which way we can: We owe it to them-there are leading lights in a dimming city-which this editor and his allies refuses to give up on.
