THE LOCAL BUZZ
Fueled by:

2018 - what a year! This spring, Fresh Brewed Tech launched the
Tacos & Tech Podcast
with our friends at Cox Business, and then
The Local Buzz
newsletter in June. Besides amplifying/aggregating great existing content, we have written over 25 original articles and have been overwhelmed by your interest and story ideas. Keep them coming!
We have broken down the different elements of the San Diego ecosystem, including talent, capital, and satellite companies in the
ecosystem overviews
. We also started the
Tech Mafia
series by Andrea to look at where San Diego’s tech ecosystem got its roots. We have also given you an inside look into our local university entrepreneurial ecosystem with our
AzTech
series by Sandy and
Triton Tech
by Fred. Our
Life At
series by Jill of Want To Work There has allowed for employees themselves to help describe and showcase the culture at San Diego’s vibrant tech companies, and we’re excited to launch a new Impact & Social Enterprise series with Carter Crockett starting today.
We’re thrilled to bring you deep dives into San Diego’s tech community and appreciate your feedback. While the newsletter will be back in January, our social channels will continue to share the latest news throughout the new year. What would you like to see us cover in 2019?
Wishing you the happiest of holidays,

We'd love your feedback on our content. Please take this
