Now that the LA men have shaved their Movember glory, it’s time to kick Christmas prep into high gear.  And we’re wasting no time with an ABSOLUTELY packed week of events!<\/p>\n

And when you’re not busy this week at events, be sure to check out our featured startup, Smartest K12<\/a>.  They just raised money from the UCLA VC Fund to extend the reach of their platform, “which enables teachers to manage assignments and assessments online and receive immediate, actionable results on every student”.<\/p>\n
