The Preludes

Pre-event gatherings for people who want to go deeper. The next one is being planned.

Here's how this started.

It's easy to stay in your lane in San Diego.

Work. Gym. Same few people.

Meanwhile, there's a whole layer of founders, operators, and builders showing up every week.

Most people don't see it.

I didn't either.

At one point, I was following a dozen different newsletters,

checking event pages, trying to keep up.

And still missing the one thing everyone talked about the next day.

So I started keeping track.

That's where The Social Coyote came from.

You don't need to go to everything.

Just the right things.

And over time, something interesting happens.

You start recognizing faces.

Conversations get easier.

The city starts to feel smaller.

Howl yeah.

Career Coyote

San Diego is hiring. You just can't see it from LinkedIn.

Career Coyote surfaces roles from companies actually building here, introductions when they make sense, and a growing network of founders and recruiters who know the difference between a résumé and a fit.

If you're exploring what's next, it's worth being plugged in.

About

My human name is Jonah.

Jonah at a community gathering at golden hour with founders in the background

I've been in San Diego since 2010, deep in operations at companies like Postmates, Lime, and Handy. I got obsessed with who was building things here at home. The Social Coyote is what happened next.

Why coyotes? They run in packs and they live right here in San Diego, just like us.
