We sent out a howl on LinkedIn last week asking the pack for their favorite incubators and accelerators in San Diego.
26 programs. 8 categories. And about a third of them were new to me.
That's the thing about this city. The resources are here. They're just not always easy to find unless you know where to look or who to ask.
A static list goes stale fast. But a howl? San Diego crowdsourced it.
Here's the post if you want to add to it.
The more we put in, the more useful it gets for everyone trying to build something here.
Curious what we should go searching for next.
