How did the company start?
Noah Noah Auerhahn: We got started right out of USC. The site started as a concept that Jeff Nobbs, my co-founder, and myself developed while we were operating a cash-back and coupon website while we were attending USC. We wrote up a business plan, and won a USC business plan competition, which allowed us to get funding from the University and raise venture capital we needed to begin development on the plan. For this morning's interview, we talked with Noah Auerhahn , President of San Diego-based Extrabux (www.extrabux.com), an online site focused on providing consumers with comparison shopping combined with discount offers.

People talk a lot how an area creates an environment conducive to startups and high tech entrepreneurship. One huge factor in “startup creation” here is the presence of at least two, highly ranked MBA programs in Los Angeles. News & World Report at #11, and USC Marshall is ranked by U.S. UCLA Anderson is ranked by U.S. News & World Report at #21–and although not as prominent in terms of reputation as places like Harvard, Stanford, or Wharton–I run across an immense number of entrepreneurs others who went to either school.

The University of Southern California is reporting today that spinouts out of the school have raised $148m in the last two calendar years (2008-2009), and that there are now at least 24 USC spinouts currently in business. The school--which has been actively encouraging startup activity based on its research in recent years--said that 16 USC startups raised $148M, in a combination of new startup funding and additional rounds of financing for those companies. The school said that the 24 spinouts of the school employ approximately 500 full time employees, with at least 267 of those jobs in Los Angeles.

The USC Stevens Institute for Innovation , the effort of the University of Southern California to foster innovation within its campus and the community, has been turning an eye to how to more effectively spin out academic efforts into companies. Among tidbits from their study: inventors are expected to be involved start-ups, but shouldn't expect to run the company as CEO; venture capital funds shouldn't be considered as "ATMs"--they expect to be "highly involved" in portfolio companies; and understand that venture capitalists are looking for a return on investment--either an IPO or acquisition.

The EDAR effort was the winner of the recent Social Innovation Fast Pitch — an effort produced by Los Angeles Social Venture Partners , the Social Enterprise Institute, and USC Stevens Institute for Innovation. The Social Innovation Fast Pitch itself was modeled after the Tech Coast Angels’ popular Fast Pitch events, where entrepreneurs pitch their high tech startups in 60 seconds or less. There was a good front page article in the LA Times yesterday on the effort to develop mobile shelters for the homeless by a local foundation — the EDAR Foundation — which has some interesting ties to Southern California’s technology community.
