Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It's officially holiday party season and there's a lot to celebrate locally. Check out all the events! What's your ugly sweater game like? Reply with a photo and we'll share on social. Also make sure to find your way to the new Cove offices to see how they are expanding and further making Irvine the seat of the OC startup community. Maybe that will ruffle some feathers, but come at us with which other areas of OC are working to be a startup/tech hub?
With the end of the year coming, we are working on 2020. What do you want to see more of from us? Are we missing anything in our coverage? Mind giving us your thoughts in
this 2 minute survey
so we can improve?
We're thankful for your support and for helping make Orange Community an even better tech ecosystem.
