🐺 [social] What started with one, two years ago, has grown to three!

Welcome, Social Coyote!

We now have 3 Founders Hikes!!

Neal started the first one, over two years ago and now it’s grown into three! Wait, did I just stumble into our email subject line? One, two, three?!

I think it’s a sign of a number of things: a great idea, a very San Diego way to connect with each other, and an excuse to enjoy how beautiful it is here, especially this time of year.

Let’s not forget that other tech communities around the country are blessed with frigid cold in the winter, or a summer exodus due to heat.

We have something really special here in SD.

And I’m all for it!

I’ve gotten to know them personally, and if you haven’t yet, here’s why they’re worth a howl:

RBL: Rose opened up her Fridays to host free educational chats with the pack. Founders are walking away with clarity on formation, contracts, and trademarks.

avianu.: Nick’s been sending Loom videos to help founders level up their site design. One founder boosted signups after acting on his suggestions.

These two aren’t just partners, they’re part of the pack.

Supporting San Diego founders is better when we do it together.

Howl yeah.
