Neal Bloom's Linkedin Analytics

With over 15 years of experience in the tech sector, I am passionate about investing in and supporting innovative tech companies that impact communities and solve real-world problems. As a Managing Partner at Interlock Capital, I help find, evaluate, fund, and support the best technology companies through our venture fund and angel investor syndicate. I also leverage my entrepreneurial background and media expertise to create and grow tech ecosystems in Southern California. I am the CEO of Rising Tide Partners, a communications agency that helps governments and special districts communicate through storytelling, marketing, community building, and public outreach. I am also the founder of Fresh Brewed Tech, a tech news community that covers the latest trends, events, and stories in San Diego, Orange County, and Santa Barbara. Additionally, I serve as a board member of Upcycle and Company, a startup that produces sustainable fertilizer from organic waste. Previously, I co-founded Portfolium, an online portfolio platform that connects students and professionals with employers, which was acquired by Instructure in 2019. I also worked as a systems engineer and product manager at Aerojet Rocketdyne, where I launched 84 astronauts into space while working on the Space Shuttle program. I hold an MBA from Pepperdine Graziadio Business School and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UC San Diego. I am always looking for new opportunities to connect, collaborate, and learn from other investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders in the tech industry.
