In addition to dollar amount, I have included industry, round, investors in the round, and total capital raised to further the analysis. As I know that all of these companies are hiring, I have also included the number of open positions (240) that are available at each as of the time of this writing, according to their respective websites. I am hopeful that this will be useful for the job seekers out there and I am sure that the service providers will use this information for their own benefit. Lastly, in order to maintain a focus on conventional tech startups, pharmaceutical and biotech companies were removed from the data. <strong>Quick Findings:</strong> The 20 largest funding rounds in LA in 2015 total $613M <a href="https://ctt.ec/CE9Ts">Tweet this</a> The total funding raised in LA in 2015 is $1.13B <a href="https://ctt.ec/6hiW2">Tweet this</a> There have been 149 rounds in LA in 2015 <a href="https://ctt.ec/2rMeO"> Tweet this</a> The top 20 rounds comprise 63% of the total $ amount raised in LA in 2015 <a href="https://ctt.ec/64QXF">Tweet this</a> 30% of the largest startup rounds in LA in 2015 were for companies founded by at least 1 woman <a href="https://ctt.ec/7Od31"> Tweet this</a> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/2015/07/the-20-largest-la-startup-funding-rounds-of-2015/2/"><strong><u>CLICK HERE TO SEE THE 20 LA COMPANIES THAT RAISED THE LARGEST ROUNDS IN 2015</u></strong></a></p> <!--nextpage--> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/CHOWNOW.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-880" src="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/CHOWNOW.png" alt="CHOWNOW" /></a></p> <h2><strong>ChowNow $10M </strong></h2> <strong>Round: Series B</strong> <strong>Industry:</strong> SaaS Hospitality <strong>Investors in the Round:</strong> Upfront Ventures <strong>Total Capital raised:</strong> $17.7M <strong>Number of available jobs on company website (as of 7/15)</strong> 18 <!--nextpage--> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OUYA.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-881" src="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/OUYA.png" alt="OUYA" /></a></h2> <h2><strong>OUYA $10M </strong></h2> <strong>Round: Venture</strong> <strong>Status:</strong> OUYA was acquired by Razer on 7/28/15. <strong>Industry:</strong> Gaming <strong>Investors in the Round:</strong> Alibaba Capital Partners <strong>Total Capital raised:</strong> $33.6M <strong>Number of available jobs on company website (as of 7/15)</strong> 1 <!--nextpage--> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/THE-BLACK-TUX.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-882" src="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/THE-BLACK-TUX.png" alt="THE BLACK TUX" /></a> </strong></p> <h2><strong>The Black Tux $10M </strong></h2> <strong><strong>Round: </strong>Series A</strong> <strong>Industry:</strong> Fashion <strong>Investors in the Round:</strong> First Round Menlo Ventures The Raine Group <strong>Total Capital raised:</strong> $15M <strong>Number of available jobs on company website (as of 7/15)</strong> 5 <!--nextpage--> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ASSETAVENUE.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-883" src="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ASSETAVENUE.png" alt="ASSETAVENUE" /></a></strong><strong> </strong></p> <h2><strong>AssetAvenue $11M</strong></h2> <strong><strong>Round: </strong>Series a</strong> <strong>Industry:</strong> Real Estate <strong>Investors in the Round:</strong> DCM Ventures Matrix Partners NetEase Capital NetEase.com Ron Suber <strong>Total Capital raised:</strong> $15M <strong>Number of available jobs on company website (as of 7/15)</strong> 2 <!--nextpage--> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/HONK.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-884" src="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/HONK.png" alt="HONK" /></a></strong><strong> </strong></p> <h2><strong>HONK $12M</strong></h2> <strong><strong>Round: </strong>Series A</strong> <strong>Industry:</strong> Automotive <strong>Investors in the Round:</strong> Altpoint Ventures Expansion Venture Capital Karlin Ventures Structure Capital TenOneTen Ventures Venture51 <strong>Total Capital raised:</strong> $13.8M <strong>Number of available jobs on company website (as of 7/15)</strong> 10 <strong> </strong> <!--nextpage--> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/REFORMATION.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-885" src="https://www.latechwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/REFORMATION.png" alt="REFORMATION" /></a></h2> <h2><strong>Reformation $12M</strong></h2> <strong><strong>Round: </strong>Series A</strong> <strong>Industry:</strong> Fashion <strong>Investors in the Round:</strong> 14W Stripes Group Andrew S.
