Plot: Silicon Beach is a comedy series set in the heart of Los Angeles’ coastal tech scene, home to more than 500 startups and global players like Google, Snap, and Amazon. Against this backdrop of sunshine, scooters, and seed funding, a misfit crew of socially awkward yet determined founders try to launch the next big thing. Between bizarre office perks, offbeat pitches, and an endless parade of eccentric investors, their biggest challenge may be the one person they can’t quite figure out: Harry Voltori, the elusive backer whose guiding voice might belong to a brilliant visionary… or something far less human. Blending satire, workplace comedy, and a touch of sci-fi mystery, Silicon Beach captures the absurd optimism, awkward genius, and endless ambition that define startup culture, where every idea feels world-changing, and every meeting could change the future.
