With
QuickPitch
upon us, we now have both the
finalists
and
judges
announced. It’s going to be an exciting night where ten companies will pitches and be judged to win $75,000 in cash prizes. We’ll be interviewing everyone back stage for an upcoming episode of the
Tacos and Tech Podcast
(you can listen to
Part 1
&
Part 2
from last year). Hope you’ll join in person and on social media on Oct. 29, using the hashtag #QuickPitchSD.
I also got to recently step on the other side of the microphone and be
interviewed
by the Enterprise Podcast Network. During the podcast, I walk through why we started Fresh Brewed Tech and about the business we have been able to build around promoting San Diego’s vibrant and storied ecosystem. Give it a listen and shoot me your feedback.
Lastly, Startup San Diego is honored to host a resident entrepreneur from Malaysia for the next month.
SA (or Soon-Aik) Chiew
is from
Startup Malaka
and is in town through November 18. He wants to compare notes about ecosystem building, smart cities, and help connect you to Southeast Asia. He has a passion for travel tech, so
Adam Harris
, let’s get the three of us together and share notes there as well. If you want to meet with SA, shoot him a note at
SA@startupsd.org
or find him on the
San Diego Startup Slack
.
Cheers!
