Tech focused firms in LA

Ignore my title - I’m a 2nd year associate in PE interested in moving to a hedge fund or crossover fund role focused on tech. Seems like almost all the funds that fit the bill are in the bay area or NYC but are there any in LA? I know Coatue opened an office down there but can’t think of any others

Off top of my mind: 

  • Fernbridge, Tiger grand cub founded by Brennan Diaz (ex-Viking, ex-Junto)
  • Dandelion Capital Management, recent launch by Patrick Fu (ex-Sequoia Capital Global Equities)
  • Investment Group of Santa Barbara

Growth-oriented mutual funds

  • Primecap is not a hedge fund, but they are a growth mutual fund, been around for a while, they are based in Pasadena
  • WCM: wide moat out of Laguna Beach
