For anyone that small, Ticketmaster doesn't make sense. My co-founder is Nasi Peretz, who is CTO of West Side Rentals, another LA company, and who also ran properties at USC for the business school and law school. Scot Richardson: Yes, they've hired us, and we hope it's a good sign. So, how long has the company been around?

Ive hired some of my best people straight out of college, taxi cab drivers and have even stolen coffee makers from Starbucks. Ive personally seen big companies such as Ticketmaster and MySpace do a great job building an extremely talented team of highly motivated, Scrappy engineers. They will be one of your most valuable assets.
