Summer is almost over?! It feels like it with August coming to a quick end. But there's a lot going on, especially with some of our big name OC brands. Late stage fintech startup
Acorns
is raising more celebrity money,
Amazon
is launching its fleet of delivery robots, and
Surfline
made a
n
Apple watch app! (stoked!).
But there are some other brands that deserve some major credit, like
Tech Coast Angels
having an amazing year of growth and
OCTANe
raising some serious capital for the local biotech/medtech startup community. Also Irvine & SD-based
EvoNexus
is opening a Silicon Valley campus, further linking our startups to the Bay Area with a fintech incubator in San Mateo. And if you happen to
be
going to this week's
Water Solutions
conference, come find me to say hi. Ping me on
Twitter
;)
