Hustle

A new type of celebrities are appearing in the Los Angeles scene: the tech startup millionaires. Much like the Dot Com era in the Silicon Valley, these software-developers-turned-entrepreneurs know how to party as flash as the Tinseltown A-list.

The stories of instant rags to riches are attracting many young and young-at-heart dreamers to give up the security of a corporate job and a regular paycheck. The dream is to raise money from Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists to build a web app or a mobile app, hoping to be bought out by a big company in a year or so. But will the reality live up to the promised glamor?
