A bit of history
Hollywood began as a real-estate subdivision registered by Harvey Wilcox with the Los Angeles County recorder on February 1, 1887, named by his wife Daeida. It was annexed by the City of Los Angeles in 1910. Film companies began relocating there from the East Coast in the early 1910s, partly to escape patent-infringement lawsuits from Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company and partly for the region's reliable weather and varied scenery. By 1912 major studios had set up production in and around Hollywood, and within a decade the name had become synonymous with the American film industry.
$2.0MOwnors was co-founded by attorney James Jones Jr., who previously co-founded and ran the legal-services startup Court Buddy, which was later acquired.
The Lambrick Group is the company behind Cajole, a social-challenges platform, founded by David Levy and Morgan Conrad and based in Hollywood, California.
