ANA, LA Fund & Intel Solving the Hospitality Industry's Innovation Crisis
About
LA Fund, the innovation arm of the American Nightlife Association (ANA), has partnered with 500 Startups to solve a massive problem within hospitality: the ridiculously—and painfully—slow pace at which the industry “innovates.” The ANA, LA Fund, 500 Startups, Intel and Nightclub & Bar agree that the industry must overcome its innovation crisis. One obstacle that factors into the lack of viable, easily integrated technology solutions designed for hospitality is cost. Whereas bringing an app to market can be as relatively easy as hiring programmers, much of what’s needed in our space requires the development and manufacture of hardware.
