In December 2018, the stock market got wild and everyone was talking about a recession in 2019. Or at least I did in my 2018 year wrap up. I was obviously wrong, so read my
2019 wrap up and 2020
look ahead and let’s take bets on the local tech ecosystem for one year from now! We’ve had some big new biotech rounds and some interesting acquisitions just in the last week, so we’re off to a good start in 2020.
Something exciting that’s happening right now is that San Diego’s newest startup creator/investor Launch Factory is recruiting co-founders for Simply Independent, with an aging/senior-focused, and Productize, connecting the ecosystem for ideation/creation. Are you looking for that next gig? Join a team of successful entrepreneurs to lead these innovations and sign up at
this link right here
and let them know I sent ya! Also feel free to submit names of people you think would be good for these founding roles.
Fresh Brewed Tech is also changing things up a bit this year. We have so much original content to share that we are breaking it up, including sending you exciting
podcasts
every week. What did you think of the new podcast
episode
