Pedro came to 1st Mondays looking to deepen his roots in the San Diego startup community. For him, these gatherings are more than networking; they’re a chance to both give and receive guidance. Whether it’s connecting with founders earlier in their journey or tapping into the wisdom of those who’ve already solved the challenges he faces, Pedro sees community as a force multiplier for growth.

The firm’s sweet spot is any company trying to figure out how to weave AI into day-to-day operations. That anxiety of knowing you need to act but not knowing how to start, or how to bring your team along, is exactly the problem Wallabi was built to address. Services span strategic advisory all he way through to building bespoke AI applications.

Pedro’s top ask from the San Diego ecosystem right now is simple: awareness. Wallabi runs its own events and outreach, but the real leverage comes from introductions and word-of-mouth within an established network. If you know a business leader wrestling with their AI strategy, a warm intro goes a long way.

The next 1st Monday is happening on August 3rd at the UCSD Design and Innovation Building. Join us and meet Founders like Pedro, and get connected with the San Diego strtup ecosystem..
