Hosted 25 early-stage biotech statups & VCs tonight in partnership w/ @jpmorgan We talked about life, summer travels, and what’s keeping ppl busy these days. By far my favorite part of what I get to do. Exciting community growing in SD Just the beginning.
UTC Westfield is the best retail center & shopping mall and it’s not even close.
Lunch Meetings in Torrey Pines Gloom day, but had the chance to meet with the San Diego team at @RSMUSLLP We chatted about SD’s biotech scene and how they’re helping clients navigate today’s business climate. Highly recommend, easily one of the top lunch spots in SD ⛳️
You can’t stop the influx of founders, investors and companies building in Silicon Sands at the moment. The energy is palpable right now (my inbox is perpetually bombarded every week with “this exec / founder from X is moving to SD ..” Bullish.
