We are live! Yesterday Startup San Diego officially announced San Diego Startup Week X, our own take on Tech Week. Anyone in the community can host an event and get it on the official calendar, all done through Eventship. I can't wait to see what kinds of events everyone put together.

Many thanks to Erika Gastelum, Lisa Barnhouse, Cathy Pucher, David Loseke, Ryan Kuder, Neal Bloom🎩 and countless others who are making this happen.

San Diego Startup Week 2025 is going to be phenomenal.
