Let’s kick off October with new connections, good conversations, and the same low-pressure startup atmosphere we’ve been building together.
Join us for the October San Diego County Startup Mixer at Harland in Bay Park on October 12th!
Leading with AI is a dinner and discussion series for local leaders putting AI to work in their businesses. Each event brings together a curated group of executives to connect with peers and learn from each other, over dinner and a moderated panel.
Most business owners have tried AI. They typed a question, got a decent answer, and stopped there. Few found out what it's actually good at, where it quietly gets things wrong, and how to tell the difference.
This session covers that difference. You'll see where AI saves real time in a business and where it doesn't. You'll also learn how to check its work before a customer sees it.
Welcome to The Pitch Pit—a no-fluff, high-energy pitch practice night designed for founders, dreamers, builders, and hustlers to sharpen their stories and perfect their pitch. Whether you’re prepping for an investor meeting, applying to an accelerator, or just getting your idea out of your head and into the world, this is your arena.
We meet at San Elijo State Beach, northern-most part of the north parking lot near the benches and shower. If you see stairs or you see parking lot north of you, keep going north! The pin on the map is about 100 yards south of where we'll meet. Easiest to park for free on Coast Hwy. See the pic below. We meet at those picnic tables.
Join us in a special weekend developer experience! We're long time San Diego developers, looking to foster a community of devs of all skill levels to have fun, network, and learn new things!
IDEA Week San Diego is a new weeklong celebration of the people, companies, creators, researchers, artists, and organizations shaping what's next for our region.
Join the enthusiastic crowd of startup founders, tech entrepreneurs, crypto enthusiasts, developers and others involved in the San Diego startup community to socialize, network and enjoy each other and talk about what you're doing at our monthly Tech Beer gathering.
Bring a process tied to revenue, cost, speed, or risk. Together, we’ll identify the constraint, pressure-test where AI can create measurable leverage, and examine what must change across workflows, data, and team responsibilities.
