I'm not a super networker or anything, but I've never met anyone involved with adult entertainment that admitted it, or VCs that openly invest in it. I always thought of it more as an LA thing.

I honestly don't think we're so liberal you won't have reputation problems later on, but with multiple exits you have a track record to offset.

I got chatting to the camera person before my talk at a JavaScript event once, just about AV stuff. I assumed he was a programmer who also shot events, but when I started talking tech he mentioned he wasn't a programmer, and was down from LA and normally shoots adult on some well known sites.

When I was working for a pro audio company out of LA, I ran into a product manager there who had been a sound engineer for porn. Good person.
