I spent three days in San Diego this week. It is incredible to see how it has grown as a technology ecosystem. We had a great deal of success when we led the Series A at PetDesk, but because of COVID19 and me starting my firm, I have not had a chance to plant my flag there. It was great connecting with some of my favorite people-
Eric Otterson- S.V.B., Martin Bridges- Pillsbury, Brian Rauls- Tech CXO, Mike Weisman (Prolific Angel and Board Member), Ken Tsui (C.T.O. of PetDesk), Navid Alipour (M.D. at Analytics Ventures), Luke Harmon (Serendipity Consulting), Cameron Stewart (C.M.R.R.I.S.), Neal Bloom (Intralock Capital) and Caitlin Wege (Moodoo Investments and President of T.C.V.), Rob Pakalski (C.E.O. of Datum Source), Brad Chisum (Launch Factory), and the G.O.A.T. Taylor Cavanah (C.E.O. of PetDesk).
I thank all of you for making me feel welcome in San Diego.
I have received a handful of companies that fit our investment thesis and I am excited to be doing follow up calls in the coming weeks.
I am actively covering the area and have started a cold outreach campaign to the following companies. If anyone has contact to companies listed below I would love a warm intro!
See you soon San Diego!
