🐺 “Don’t be afraid to miss your prey...”
The San Diego events you should know about to get connected!
Welcome, Social Coyote!
It’s usually a good idea to learn from the past, but not always a great idea to live there.
I was looking at a particularly packed upcoming two weeks and struggling to trim it down to a manageable list. This was not an easy task.
If we take a step back and rewind to the very first few Social Coyotes ever sent, when I was in desperate need of more events, it reminds me of how far we’ve come as a community.
There were no Founders Hikes back then, Startup Beach (now Eventship) hadn’t been invented yet, and most of us were just coming out of hibernation from 2020–2023.
We’ve come so far as a community in a very short time, and it’s important to recognize that as we look at a particularly exciting week of events.
We’re lucky here in San Diego to have such an active startup scene.
Howl yeah!
P.S. Back in 2023, we were taking famous quotes and modifying them as if a coyote wrote them. Oh, how far we’ve come.
Remember this one?
“Don’t be afraid to miss your prey. Be afraid of never venturing into the hunt.”
— Sara Blakely (modified for a Coyote)

Home is for living. Work needs its own space.
Working from home is fine until you realize you also live there, eat there, and hang out there at the end of the day.
I love that Downtown Works is local, homegrown, and gives us a place to break up the routine with good San Diego people.
Pack discount if you want a desk outside your den.
