My human name is Jonah and I’ve been in San Diego since 2010.

I’ve worked in operations for on-demand tech companies like: Handy, Postmates and Lime. And spent time at Evonexus, San Diego Angel Conference, NuFund and Startup San Diego.

I love to tinker and I have a passion for entrepreneurship, clever ideas, tech, and connecting.

San Diego is one of the most geographically spread out tech scenes in the country. It’s vibrant, but a touch scattered.

We have a wonderful energy here and our leaders go out of their way to make high value connections. But we need to get into the right rooms to take advantage of this generosity.

I developed a simple system to gather, evaluate and collect high value events and started sharing it in order to help us all expand our networks together.

Here’s a bit of criteria I use: 

• I had attended the event in the past and loved it

• It’s organized by a trusted friend in our community

• The event was referred by trusted a source

• Or they looked really cool and I hoped to attend

I operationalized this system and tied it up with a lovely coyote themed bow!

Why coyotes you ask?

They’re cool, they live in packs, and they have communities just like us! They’re also quite clever, and of course, they live here in San Diego. Sure, we rarely see them. But I'm certain they know all the happenings.

I love this city, and the more we connect with each other, the better our: startups, businesses, projects and networks will do. This is the mission! Howl yeah!
